not putting any of my bike parts against a grinding wheel, sorry.

Wicked, now I can find out if my frame is really titanium or not!

you dont need to grind your parts. just send them to me and ill see if its real titanium. send the whole bikes to check if its all titanium

but a magnet won't stick to aluminium or stainless, either...

Some stainless is magnetic, some is not, and I don't recall right offhand which kind is used for what.

If you mistake CF for titanium, shame.....

That video doesn't do titanium justice! You'll never call anything else white again once you've seen titanium grinding sparks.

But... There is another way... (also on popsci, coincidentally)

So, who's gonna be the first to try it?

It'd be interesting to have multi-colored rails on my saddle....
