I think the next 'revolution' in frame materials is gonna
be....titanium, again.

Great stuff, cheaper than carbon, lasts forever, rides well if
designed well...

I like my ti bike, but "cheaper than carbon" is something of a stretch.

Which bikes would you point to as outstanding Ti designs in terms of
ride quality?

A Lynskey Performance custom bike will fit you better, perform better
for you, and look so freakin' hot, your friends will explode

another booby trap idea? Is Lynskies bro a stock broker? There's a
move.
there's no good reason why carbon pipes plumbered into lugs aren't
made foolproof with thickness not made just enough too impress
everyone with zero gravity lightness.
More Surley brick factory scam?

Habanero

Speaking of titanium ... you can do some really cool stuff with
titanium.

My Habanero frame should be here really really soon now and I'm
looking to anodize it a nice 36 volt bronze purple with the decals in
45 volt blue. I'm going to use my personal chop as the decal on the
headtube. Can't find out any good information on amperage except on
sites that assume I'll be doing something more complicated than the
Diet Coke method so I'm not sure if I should buy a handful of small 9
volt batteries or if I should rent/borrow some big ass 12 volt
batteries.

I think the Leni Freid stuff is a little too over the top fancy-
shmancy though I might want to try some very high voltage green
overlays. Dunno. The problem with leaving the bronze/purple and blue/
yellow range for the pink/green range is that if I don't like the
result there is no way to undo/redo it with a higher voltage color as
the really high voltages are just sort of muddy gray.

Do sort of wish I had a clue where to get 'mild phosphoric acid
solution' in China as something other than soda pop since I actually
have access to a large metal bathtub (long story) and dip anodizing
would produce a more solid result.

'mild phosphoric acid solution' a.k.a. auto body metal etch or toilet
cleaner or 'anti-lime' rinse. Read the labels!!

I love my ti frames, but I think that you're a tad overly
enthusiastic. One new set of Deda pipes does not a revolution make.
Nice frame, though.
