Titanium $40 per pound.

Here's a riddle for you -

What costs $1000 for 1500 grams, $2,000 for 1200 grams and $4,000 for
900 grams?

SteveAIt's called the bikini rule. The more you pay the less you get.

Sounds more like the lap dancing rule. Not that I'd know of course!

It was a georgeous looking machine (whispered that in case my bike
heard)

Yes, so I'm speaking after a close examination. If I had one of those,
I'd want some hand-tooled cowboy boots with silver buckles and belt
tips. Yeeehar!

Incidentally, Johnno told me he didn't like my new frame, so I'm
allowed to backstab his bike.
