I made Matt & James have chromo ones and they both love them, Wait until Mike brings out the cruiser version - he had the prototype at Dunstable and Matt tried it out. Lovely!! So it's going to be ti axles, spokes, everything then is it Darren. Humps

:2funny: Got to be 3.4 lbs, I'm sure Mike at Dialled can tell us more :daumenhoch:

They are sweet looking bikes, couple of kids up the road from me have them (don't think they're Ti tho'), look really nice built up and they tell me they ride really well :daumenhoch:

Post by: team_teapot on October 10, 2006, 10:26 PM: The problem with ti is they don’t accept it down the local pay point.
