    Ti replacements = 361.4gms

    Saving a total of 392.2gms

  3. just been thinking about this ti game, was it worth it..... £1.12 per gram is exspensive no dought about that, and I could ride the same with out the ti....I think! But I ride between 2-8hrs nearly everyday... on average 1600hrs per year give or take the odd hr, new build has cost around £2000... including the ti..thats £1.25 per day.. bargin in my mind... was it worth it??? FUCKING HELL YEAH
