  6. Nah. The Freemasons are into 6's, and the Illuminati can do as they please.
  7. eXakkery what I said.
  8. Uhhmm. Oom. With all due respect. The only 'executive' I can think of who would wear Swatch Metal would be Branson. Edit: Who would also pay cash, and ask for discount.
  9. Dude. To answer your question. It will eventually fail. Somewhere. Very usually "OUT THERE" and you gonna have to WALK home. Litespeed, like Lynskey, and some decent American hand manufacturers work with Ti and 'know' it, but as Johan says, in order to get it 'lighter' they work thinner. Leading to problems. It also depends WHERE these frames are now being manufactured. It is not a material weldable by rookies. I do agree with Johan that it is not the ideal material, but done right it works, and it has a 'fringe element' edge to it that goes well with SS and other anti-establishment genres. Here is one piece of advice thought: DO NOT undertake to 'repair' it yourself BEFORE taking it up with LITESPEED. You do, and I was Litespeed, I would tell you to enjoy your life...bye-bye. Sorry for your loss. Stick with ali. Forget Carbone`!
  10. Uh, yes, except that was not a crack in that instance. It was a purpose distortion, that some turkey had tried to 'fix', before taking it up with Litespeed!
  11. Yes: You have spelled seize correctly, as you have suede. Carpe diem, in your suede suit. Now...back to the topic.
  12. Here's a man who has 'put his name out there'. Stay away from carbon (point. period.)
  13. Dude. It rocks. Buy the bike that really makes you drool. MAKE SURE THE SIZE IS RIGHT.... Ignore all the waffle and marketing hype. Let rip.
  14. Not at all son. What he may have proved was that a roadbike, used with the right skills, may kick a MTB's ass. What he DID prove was that a mtbiker, on anything, can kick a roadies ass. Sorry 4 U.
  15. Timing mat , or other external interference.
  16. Max Hear Rate Regularly exceeding.. About 60Hz..or ANY barking bloody DOGS!
  17. That's alright fella. No apologies needed. I have a feeling that that cake goes to The Explosive One and his par'ner WeedMod though..
  18. Casio G-shock. Chrono. Only watch that I can't break. No hairy gorilla pic.
  19. Same tooth count?
  20. Keep it! Belonged to them LitterBugs anyways. What did you do with all the empty Gu packets?
  21. I do agree iCHOPS. But there really is no need to shout, if you wish to avoid being 'generalized'.
  22. Therefore: The rider of a TT bike will require more effort!
