The big Ti benefit that I notice with my Ti B-17 over my three other
non-Ti ones is the non-rusting properties--a somewhat significant
factor on the salt/salt strewn bike ways here in coastal SolCal. Worth
it when I paid $120 for the Ti one, with the now bigger price I'm okay

I recently bought a pair of De Soto arm coolers and they feel cooler than bare

I had creakiness in a couple of my B-17s also. I sprayed just a bit

I used a hacksaw, then a fine file, and then finished off with very
fine sandpaper (I think it was 400, then 600, then 1000 grit). The

Almost certainly not painted by Joe Bell--His paint jobs cost about
almost half the price of a Hillborne frame.
