The weather is just too damned crappy....The trais are saturated. Nothing left to do but practice on
the UniCycle or go ride on the road. At least I'm "preserving" my "cross knobbies by keeping the
road rubber on the Beer'Cross: http://www.shavings.net//images/bikes/CX/road-shoes.jpg

Dam, that bike rides so SWEET I don't care if I'm riding pavement instead of dirt!

Looks pretty sweet. You've got the same bars and shifters that I've got on my Hab CX.

I've had quite a few roadies ask me about the disc brakes. They all seem to be amazed that nobody
thought of it earlier. Like: "Wow what a great idea how/where did you get those!??!?!?!"

That's the point.

Have a look at:http://www.sticha.ch/morati/road/default.html It's the swiss importer of Hope disc
brakes, he adapts them on the Morati titanium frames...

Hah! That didn't take long. Realize, Satan doesn't commit evil acts of force, but gently coerces
into temptation.

Mr. Hickey, just out of curiosity, is titanium brazeable for, say, rack eyelets?

My frame was spec'ed and built with rack and fender eyelets.

It was built to be an "all in one" with emphasis in 'Cross and all day touring comfort... but I'm
finding that the thing also FLIES down the road and corners better than my old Crit bike.

I read somewhere that it could be brazed if you could manage to get the welder and the frame into a
total vacuum. It's hard to keep good welders around when you ask them to do that, so for all intents
and purposes - no, it's not really brazeable.

99% of titanium welding is done with TIG.
