Re: Travers Ti frames - pay what you can afford.
People seem to be getting a little off topic, I was trying to make a genuinely nice, fair and creative offer, share a little love and give back a bit but things seem to have descended into the old "the standard BB I like is better than the one you like" argument! For what its worth my reas...

Re: Travers Ti frames - pay what you can afford.
Oooh, you are an evil man! :lol: Putting temptation in our way. Does the frame come with new garage for storage? PS: PF can go in the same bin as sprouts and Marmite! I suggest you buy the frame (bike Build) and let the bikes fight out who stays in the garage, As I said above I can thread the PF30 ...

Re: Travers Ti frames - pay what you can afford.
That DirTi is lovely. Pressfit bottom bracket though I was just looking at the DirTi too, why, why? Pressfit is proven junk, why do people still bother? Morning, I dont want to get into the PF30/is crap or not. I know some people have had bad experiences but that is down to poor frame tolerances or...

Re: 29 plus carbon fork options
The Prong is probably a bit short, it was designed around a 100mm fork.
I am just in the process of developing The Prong II which will be 120mm compatible (No delivery date yet as Covid has pushed things back a bit) but aiming for later this/early next year.

I got to the pub at about 115km in and had to DNF because my GPS died. Great event, thanks to Stuart and Dee for putting it on.

Re: BB200 planning
I cant decide on what to wear on my feet.

It looks like clothi...
