Of course the more I think about it, the more I would like to commission a custom made aluminum frame ...  Aluminum is so pedestrian... Go tube titanium with a carbon subframe. And have fun selling that to the wife... |

With Ti you could probably more or less copy the ducati trellis frame design. Aluminum would need a complete re-design and really works best when its done in a complex manner (varying wall thickness, large thin sections etc) - it can make for an extremely stiff, light frame when done right, but I suspect it'd be easier and cheaper to do a light one-off frame from Ti than aluminum for a duc. Just a guess from my limited fabrication experience.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I might as well get a Plutonium frame. It'll have the same effect on my manhood when my wife gets wind of it!   |

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.
Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.
