That's odd, the one thing that peeves me about the stainless watch that's on my wrist now is that it runs consistently fast, even after having it serviced and adjusted. Of course, 5 PM comes that much sooner every day nate -- replace "roosters" with "cox" to reply. http://members.cox.net/njnagel |

So there back. Pee Ess-- When I want to feel retro, I wear my steel watch. It is much slower than my carbon ones. I have a titanium ring, which I occasionally wear as a high-performance wedding band. The ring was a prize at a charity ride my club did. It's quite a conversation piece when you hand it to other people and ask them to guess what metal it is; Ti is light and lustrous and not usually encountered in one's daily life. -- Ryan Cousineau / "In other newsgroups, they killfile trolls." "In rec.bicycles.racing, we coach them." A buddy of mine and his wife wear titanium rings as their wedding bands, because they wanted to boycott the African mining industry. |

Now, I've had the same frame for 5 years. I bends and twists, but won't brake. I also have a custom ti frame. Bought it for $500. It doesn't rust, It doesn't get old, It doesn't break. Once A year, I get sandpaper and sand it a little. It looks new again. Maybe, in 1000 years, If I keep sanding it, It will dissolve into thin air. Andres |

My glass frames are made of titanium. I used to go through frames every year. Ah, to be young and reckless. Now, I've had the same frame for 5 years. I bends and twists, but won't brake. I've had the same gold spectacle frames over thirty years. I got tired of plated frames getting dull or pitting from perspiration and had a thin frame machined to my own design from a billet. It is worth more now than it cost when new. I also have a custom ti frame. Bought it for $500. It doesn't rust, It doesn't get old, It doesn't break. Once A year, I get sandpaper and sand it a little. It looks new again. Maybe, in 1000 years, If I keep sanding it, It will dissolve into thin air. Congratulations. Does your frame builder have a URL?

It is only in one of my hobbies, cycling, that I wear a watch (and that's a bit superfluous as both my favourite bike's computer control module and my heart rate monitor display clocks -- the wrist flyback is just more convenient to operate on the fly without disturbing the desired settings on the other dials). Even when I was in advertising, and at least theoretically had office hours, I didn't wear a watch or carry money or cards; that is why one has assistants. Mind you, my favourite watch to wear cycling has a slide rule bezel http://members.lycos.co.uk/fiultra/YULtideUTC.html so while I'm lying on my back on a parapet beside a susurrus stream I can still exercise my mind by doing abstruse electronic calculations for my other hobby, designing retro tube audio amplifiers http://members.lycos.co.uk/fiultra/JUTE%20ON%20AMPS.htm Andre Jute http://members.lycos.co.uk/fiultra/O...20ARISING.html |
