Hows this - I've just has some guy e-mail me asking what tubing he should use on his Ti bike that he's getting somone else to make.

Tell me, can you see the irony of someone not wanting to pay for good design, yet is obviously panicing about the fact that he has no confidence in the design ability of his chosen builder?



Wilchemy, I'd hardly expect Teschner to go "Well, if you don't like Aluminium, there's always Thylacine Cycles or Paconi or Overton or Perkins or or or." They're marginally cheaper than us for Al or Sc anyway, so if someone likes the look of them better I'm happy to conceed there. I don't believe in 'just being a road builder' anyway - I think every type of cycling informs the rest and makes for a better widget. 1 1/8th Aheadsets on roadbikes anyone? Everyone?

Easton just bought out Velomax and slapped their stickers on them as far as I can assertain. If you need new wheels, I can get cracking deals on Zipp and Reynolds - both of which are better IMHO - and I can also do handbuilts pretty reasonably too. Don't get sucked into the Ksyrium vortex whatever you do.
