HI Guys,
I'm a newbie to these forums, Great source of info!
I've decided to make my next bike a custom... Looking like a Baum Ristretto Ti with Carbon rear stays, TIG welded. Nice.
Just a question, as many new carbon bikes are coming out with integrated seatposts (ie. Ridley Noah, Scott Addict, De Rosa Idol, Giant TCR Advanced etc...) why not have it on a custom Ti frame. I'm sure it can be done. The only custom Bike i've seen it done with is on a lugged Anatomic.
Please advise the potential benefits / negatives. On a carbon bike it supposedly makes it stiffer, lighter. I just think it looks cool!
I'm certainly not a tech head when it comes to construction techniques, although i'm learning quickly.
Thanks in advance.
Jarrod
