  1. Who makes a polished mtb stem? I'm looking for an aheadset style with open front clamp in about 130
    length - perhaps most importantly it needs to be polished.

    I know Titec makes a brushed one. Are Ti stems going out of fashion these days?

    While I'm asking. Who makes Ti 27.2 compatible seatposts for mtbs? I would get a USE one (I got
    their alien shox) but their clamp style doesn't give me enough seat layback. Anyone else make one or
    are they all carbon fibre now?

    cheers, jason

    Try Titus bikes at www.titusti.com for a custom Ti stem. Make sure you are sitting down when you see
    the price.

    Other than the oooh aaah factor, what is a Ti stem going to do differently than a polished AL stem?

    For Ti seatposts, you can get Syncros, Dean, Litespeed, etc. and polish them yourself or send them
    to a metal polishing place to get them done.

    Go to this website.

    xacd.com.cnxacd.com.cn

    It looks really daggy, but email them for a price list. They don't have credit card facilities so
    you have to wire money to their account. They are very cheap and I have bought three Ti frames from
    them, plus head stems and seat posts.

    My bikes are here.

    I just got a ti seatpost from: sniperracing.comsniperracing.com Ken can make it any length you want.

  8. Try Ti Cycles (ticycles.comcomponents.html).

    Though I might ask, "why"? What advantage is there for Ti stems or seatposts? The only seatpost I
    ever broke was a Ti post. I was lucky I didn't impale myself and it was a painful ride home without
    being able to sit down. Since then I've opted for an aluminum post, either Syncros or Thomson.
