Ti=getting old....

[100%JR]

I've decided I'm going to do a Ti build.I've been mulling it over for a while and now it's going to happen.I'm not 100% decided on rim or disc(rim is in front at the moment) but I am 100% on electronic gearing.I've more or less narrowed the frame-set down and the wheels will be built by one of two local builders.I'm going for a "race" style frame with no lugs for guards/panniers as it will be my club run/social ride bike and I'm keeping my CX bike for Winter.
I'm not sure at this point whether I'll get rid of the Carbon bike and if I do i might still get another in the future but at this point Ti appeals to me.
Getting a Steel or Ti bike means I'm getting old......according to the younger riders I talk to

I've been 'old' for over twenty years then....

Actually that might be true anyway.....

Well I bought the oldest of my 3 Ti frames when I was quite young and it's still my most ridden bike now I'm getting much longer in the tooth. Sometimes I think about getting something newer, but it's such an amazing frame, current state of the art isn't a great deal better than I already have, so I just keep on riding it.

They'll learn... though it's likely they'll be old before they do.
