psycholist Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Titanium is much harder to weld and harder to get someone with the skill and equipment to do the job too. I think the Monty frames are all Aluminium though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max-t Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 The only reason they're called ti is because of the spokes, unless i have been mistaken! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan S Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 you strongly believe that TI in the frame should mean titanium, don't you?What if it means something different, you can't think of?If Ti should mean the frame is made of titanium then what PR should be made of?

tris Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 hey! So my mates 221 ti frame snapped yesterday.Im guessing the frame is titanium but im not entirely sure to be honest.Oh and how easy is titanium welded compared to aluminium?Both are bloody hard to weld and both require specialists.Titanium is much stronger than Aluminium and almost as light.Hardly any frames are made of Ti because its bloody hard to source, mould and weld. And costs a lot to do all this.I'd like to ride Chris Akrigg's bike because i believe thats Ti.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
