So I was at the bike race today doing my Marshaling duties when 1 of the riders came up to me before the race on his new custom bike. I had to get a pic.
Titanium with a nice Brass coating. This thing had to weigh 5 lbs all wet.

Are you sure it wasn't steel and not Ti? Rob English, I thought, worked exclusively with steel. Also, plating titanium can be challenge, and plating titanium with brass might involve plating Ti with one or two different metals before adding the bronze plate. No matter what it's a pretty bike, and Rob English has been doing some really innovative stuff with bikes. His personal TT bike is a thing of beauty as is his right sided single speed bike.
