Damn...
I don't even want to think about what that much titanium tubing set him back, let alone the welding & forming setup.
Some people have way too much money... and I should be one of them. [/bitter]

Somewhere in that thread he mentions a little bit of the costs involved. Seems like a lot of work for 12 lbs of weight savings, but like most DIY guys, I'm guessing that wasn't really the point. :dthumb:

nice...

met a guy this past spring at a group meet that use to own a ducati race team. Couple of his riders have been to the meets in the past. He was an older guy, cool as hell. Rode to the meet in the rain on Monster. He owns 1 of 3 full ti Monsters.

Its his baby :dribble:

FUCK THAT!

No way I'm riding on a frame made anywhere other than an approved mass production factory.

Right, Ed? ;)
