I finally got around to putting my titanium fork and Chris King GripNut headset on. I also put new cranks, pedals, and Ti seatpost. I found this heavy duty rear rack too.

So what did you save weight wise? Was the ride altered in terms of muting road vibration? I have used a Gripnut as well for at least 5 years with 0 problems.

Very nice looking. Great saddle choice. I have a Brooks Cambium on my Dahon.

I didn't weight the parts or the bike beforehand, but the ti fork and the ti seatpost feel ridiculously light holding them in my hand. I have noticed a better ride feeling; it's not as harsh or as jarring. For what it's worth, I wasn't unhappy with the original ride quality .

My ride problems are really just in my hands. I now use cork Ergons and bar ends but I've read TI soaks up road vibrations and wondered if the ride felt smoother.
