Bikes: '96 Litespeed Catalyst, '05 Litespeed Firenze, '06 Litespeed Tuscany, '20 Surly Midnight Special, All are 3x10. It is hilly around here!

Years ago, in the late 80's and early 90's IIRC, there was a company named SRP that made complete replacement Ti bolt sets for several high end groups like Dura Ace and Record. The cost was well over $200 and the savings was about 50 grams. Apparently sales weren't very brisk.

Note to Biketanium: 304 SS isn't chosen for it's strength but for it's corrosion resistance. And the market for $3 water bottle bolts can't be very strong either.
