i'm not too sure there's that much of a market for em really.......the top end Crom mo ones are so light nowadays....look at Dibly's ones.....they are weighing in at below 4 LBS!   :shocked:

Isn't the Easton 2lbs???
Title: Re: titanium
Post by: pickle on May 26, 2008, 08:22 PM
not too sure it's that light but look at the cost factor?  how much is a grim reaper titanium compared to a top end cro mo frame set?

an S&M LTF can be picked up for about £300, i think the reaper is/was about £900?!   :-\

Not being funny, but sometimes it's about want not cost.

BMX's cost feck all compared to most forms of biking, let alone comparing it to other hobbies like cars/holidays etc  :rant:

A grand is feck all nowadays, I wish it was still a fortune, but clearly it's not in this day & age :(

Pics are loverly, & at an indicated all up weight of 17.11lbs it must be the lightest out there :smitten:

Not sure that weight is your bag, but you have to give respect to the dedication that got it there  :daumenhoch:

There is a shop in lancashire called rideon (haslingden), more of a mtb shop but they have a Ti bmx frame hung up in the shop light as fook but takes a normal 1 1/8th headset and a US BB and ad 990 lugs its been there a couple of years and gets cheaper every time I have asked about it  ;) give them a ring you never know you might get Ti bargain. :daumenhoch:
