Impressive. Are your tooth fillings Ti too?

Ti chains on a tandem would cost more than a Litespeed!

Don't mentioned Litespeed in front of slvoid and ultra-g. Especially the price. A sore point, Hitchy and I believe.
You know, some dude was at the start of one of our cycleways a few weeks ago posing on a Litespeed. I had the courtesy to stop and say "Litespeed! Hmmm." (or more like, Yummmmm). I think he looked at my Fuji Touring with some disdain, then said: "Yeah, it is. It's nice", then went back to looking into the middle distance through his fancy shades. Must have been some wanky tourist from the mainland waiting for his inferior ride partner to catch up.
