Re: Ti Planet X owners: Bikefanclub.com

Can you post some pictures? Sounds like you are not from the USA, what part of the world are you from? I am having my bike built to be disc brake only, 135mm rear spacing and a IF steel disc only fork. It will have rack and fender mounts front and rear, three water bottle mounts and a pump peg. IF went to extra effort to make sure the rear rack eyelets would clear the disc drop out, that is a complete story in itself. I have Alex rims that are disc only 700c rims, which I didn't know was available until I started planning this bike and 36 hole rear and 32 hole front Deore M525 hubs. I haven't recieved my frame yet. I called IF today and it looks like it is going to the shot pener tomorrow, then paint next week. I probably won't see it until July 11, 2004. I will be doing the build myself. The only thing my LBD is doing is install the pewter Chris King headset, since I don't have the neccessary tool. I have a mix of parts, Ultegra triple 30-40-52 crank, 105 front derailler, Deore LX rear derailler, Sram 11-34 cassette. I have Avid mechanical road lever specific disc brakes and Salsa cross levers on top. The shifter/brake levers are Tiagra. IF is painting it with Pearl Orange 3/4 paint and reverse panels (raw TI where the panels would be). I plan to use the bike mostly for road riding and maybe some lite touring and a little single track. No racing, just recreational riding. I believe this bike will be an excellent all around bike for my use.
