FAR EAST has been posting some TI parts lately. I'm not sure if they are prototypes/ one-offs or if they will be production.

-

-

-
...also Ti forks in Zero or 10mm offset some with and without removeable brake mounts in stock at @flatlandfuel . Make a huge change on your bike weight, 566 grams ! Limited quantities.
-
flatlandfuel just received a FRESH BATCH of our BMX FLATLAND 160MM Ti Cranks. Now is the time to get yours ! Lightest crank on the market ! Only 451 grams.

Damn it, these are very sweet parts :P

Yes and I just got the news the slightest bit too late. Had I known a few days ago I coulda spent my stimulus money very differently. I'm kidding mostly, I like light parts as much as the next person but
a) I'm not willing to spend outrageous sums of money
b) I don't want my bike too light anyways, especially when riding on windy days
These look very cool though. I wonder what a bike composed of all these parts plus everything else as light as can be - how low do you think the weight would be? Under 12lbs (5.4kg)? Even lighter? It's hard to imagine how something so light would feel to ride.

Viki Gomez has just about everything ti possible and his bike weighs 14 something pounds.

Wow, still seems insane to pay soooo much but it's still only down to 14-15 lbs. more power to you though if you have the money to do so, not for me unless I win the lottery or something. Of course if I won the lottery then my town would become home to a gigantic flatland arena inside of an enormous climate controlled warehouse where anybody could come and ride 24/7/365, with plenty of contests and jams, free lessons for anyone wanting to learn, oh man I'd have fun with millions of dollars....

So should I punch myself in the face for saying it wont fit in the theme of my bike?
-
Do you mean because of the colour? Or the shape? I could understand it...
-
Because of the titanium color .99.5 percent of my bike is black these days I am still bummed out that Thompson never made a pivotal seatpost .
-
I really can't think off too many parts i trust being Ti. Axles and bolts maybe? Cranks would potentially be next on the list but've never tried a set
-
Does anyone use the TI FEC female version? It's 3/8 correct - best way to get it to work with a 14mm frame?

I have 3/8 ti but they sell 14mm. Any decent welder can burr your dropouts to fit either size axle. I had it done for $30.
-
I didn't know they sold a 14mm female, thought they were all 3/8 and the male version is 14mm.

You may we'll be right about the male/ female thing.

Did you know FEC can also do custom orders?
Here are some oil-slick TI posts:
-
I think those are mine : )
-
These seatposts look beautiful! But why should one use a titanium post when aluminium is strong enough? I can hardly imagine that they are lighter, or am I wrong?
-
I think those are mine : )
going in the huffjam prize pack, I hope!
-
Nope they are all mine : )
For the Ti weight question, honestly I've been looking for a longer oil slick seatpost for years and this custom just gave me the ability to do it, it really didn't matter if it were Ti or not. For me anyway.
