Yep. Short stay gain, long stay pain... or something like that.
Do you know if Waltly are taking orders again now? I don't really see anything on their website etc. I emailed them a pricequote pdf a fortnight ago and nothing heard back since.They've stopped custom frame ordering/production until at least March (at the earliest). They say they are overbooked and need to catch up.
Hmm, that's odd. I last heard from them on the 20th, usual overnight delay. They were saying around 10 weeks at that point.Do you know if Waltly are taking orders again now?

LolI last heard from them on the 20th
Haha, for once I said - "I'll leave it for now, but thanks anyway".
And you know they are just laughing to themselves saying don't worry he'll be back.Haha, for once I said - "I'll leave it for now, but thanks anyway".
You know what you’ve got.Sounds like we're about to see a bunch of "limited edition" Ti frames hit the market...
Pretty much it. There is nothing wrong with 73mm threaded and different headsets do nothing for performance - stick to the basics.BSA 73mm and ZS44/56 seem like the obvious choices - threaded BB easy to replace BBs which happen relatively often, ZS44/56 offers a range of fork sizes, headset vendors including some anglesets, strong, etc.
I have that on the road bike but for mtb most of the stuff seems to go with larger ZS44/56. I think the ZS stuff is cheaper than the IS headsets. The other thing as well is ti wear on the hard bearings might be an issue, but on a pressed cup, you just remove the lot. Might be why they do this for mtb as it gets ridden in harsh conditions?IS42/52 headset .. Is it simpler but not cheaper?
Basically be have been gonig backwards since the threaded BBs. Stick to threaded for metal bikes I rekon.T47 BB
I would probably be using Dub (28.999999) so T47 seems like a good idea.T47 is good if you want to run 30mm spindle cranks and not have dicky little bearings. Not sure about ISCG compatibility though.
Not sure now, when I bought my Ti Rockstar it was USA made (welded up by Lynsky), but that was before Pivot were a thing and Titus when belly up.So what's the chance Walty make the TI frames for Titus?
Planet X dropped an email today full of every flavor of Ti framed bike.
