That’s really good stuff. Thanks for posting. I’m wondering what the real-world results were of ti forks as they seemed to be shunned fairly quickly. Tom Kellogg points out the advantages of alu over ti for forks in the article, but seems many of these early rigs offered ti forks.

Yeah, titanium is alright.
...but, check all of those Caprice Classic yellow-cabs in the Thule ad... |

Titanium is on my list of bikes to get one day...

Thanks so much for posting this! I've been going a little crazy trying to find a copy of this issue...
