However you should ask if they will sell you an Al main pivot bolt by itself. Have you considered trying to make yourself a Ti spring? There are 2 in the rear and one in the front. If you figure it out there could be a little side business for you _________________ http://www.blingmybike.com.au - Shiny light weight bike parts

If it breaks in use or problems arise again it is his mech not yours. I don't think he is doing it for how it looks. Let him moddify in peace. _________________ www.thecycleclinic.co.uk

Even for a WW: Also a tip, winks come across as condescending I understand aesthetics completely! I actually think there should be a sub-forum just for matching bar tape to saddles or whatever the thing is these days. Drillium and pushing limits on a component is what I loved about weightweenies. The gems are rare these days but when one pops up, it's nice to see how light you can go on a part. _________________ BMC SLC01 Visiting South West Australia? Visit Crank n' Cycles!
