I love it when someone builds a bicycle that's so completely *them* shaped that no one else can even ride it.

Full Titanium 
é assim a edição limitada da #vellobike e tive o privilégio de receber a primeira unidade 
Qual a maior diferença para as outras VELLO Titanium? O triângulo traseiro e a forqueta são também titanium em vez de aço chromoly. Incluindo drops e outros detalhes.
Nota que dificilmente se vende sem montagem, por questões de garantia e controlo de qualidade, ter a melhor experiência é fundamental. Mas se fores profissional do ramo ou experiente com montagem de quadros, pode-se eventualmente abrir uma excepção.
Este já tem dono, estas coisas não ficam muito tempo nas prateleiras

Full Titanium this is the limited edition from @vellobike and I had the privilege of receiving the first unit
What is the biggest difference compared to other VELLO Titanium models? The rear triangle and fork are also titanium instead of chromoly steel. Including drops and other details.
Please note that this is rarely sold unassembled, for warranty and quality control reasons, having the best experience is essential. But if you are a professional or experienced in assembling frames, I can eventually make an exception.
This one already has an owner, these things don't stay on the shelves for long

On a Saturday morning in May, 2020, #Italian police officers caught two men pouring chemical waste into the sewers in the southern port city of #Brindisi, near a small plane components factory
Five years on, that routine #pollution case has spiralled into a wide-ranging judicial investigation into how thousands of flawed #titanium and #aluminium parts manufactured in #Italy ended up in nearly 500 #Boeing787 jets still in use.
Scientists from Ural Federal University, Institute of Strength #Physics and Materials Science of the SB RAS and National Research Tomsk Polytechnic University have tested new #titanium-based alloys, which have several advantages over traditional #medical ones.

As #Ukraine considered how to sway a #Trump to continue supporting their country, one strategy was to appeal to Trump’s #transactional nature & offer him a deal — rare earth minerals — for aid.
Now Trump says he’s interested.
Speaking to reporters Monday, Trump said the United States wants Ukrainian rare earth minerals — such as #lithium, #uranium & #titanium — in exchange for the #security assistance that Ukraine depends on for its defense against #Russia’s invasion.

#NBD Today, I finally picked up my 60th birthday present to myself (it was last October!), a North Road Cycles Grav-i-Ti. I got the tram down to Sale Moor and rode Nollaig back via the gravel/rocks/sand/cobbles tracks that run alongside the River Mersey, from Sale Moor to Stockport. Then onto tarmac for the last 9km home. Of course, it got filthy so had its first wash later in the afternoon, too!

Titanium is the new black.
We had "#gold edition" things - trinkets to vehicles. Then to one-up that, "#platinum edition" - Ford went particularly gung-ho on that as I recall. These days, #titanium has one-upped that.
I'm curious what the marketers will pick next. There are only so many materials with #marketing-friendly names that the public will have heard before.
"Carborundum edition"? Silicon carbide?
I'm actually surprised no one landed on "platinum black" before titanium.
So I did a thing today 
Safe to say, I’ve moved in. Long red light I’ve just worked out is 16 years old and I feel really old now. #newbikeday #gravel #gravelbike #titanium
