I have two things to say.
- Nice recovery by Litespeed. One of the great things about titanium as a high-end exotic material is that it is fairly repairable but then again the same can be said of high-end steel.
- You must do an awesome cleaning job! That part of the drivetrain and chainstay/dropout that I can see looks immaculate enough to serve food off.
