that ti does grow on you   well it does on me   ;)
that 125 of yours sounds interesting.

Miles's bike is sweet  :smitten:
I rode my Dialled race bike around some Nottingham street spots and the local skatepark last night withn Andy and am slowly coming around to using it for a bit of  everything, it doesnt weigh a lot and has no Ti on it as yet
 :) DINGO :)

rarman1:
as far as i know weight is a reaction issue in freestyle and flatland, how fast your bike does what its told and how fast you can react to what the bike does once your in the trick,

i have heard it said " if your reactions are slow then you may find a heavier bike easier to handle as the weight slows it down "
