Please, David, get up and stop slobbering, 3 "I'm not worthy"s is plenty! And to suck is the human condition - like Original Sin - it's the only thing we're born knowing how to do. Nothing to be ashamed of.

To the rest of you who are left feeling left out here, David is being a bit elliptical. Lest you think I made a Ti frame that was featured in BG magazine, it was a lugged steel frame he refers so flatteringly to (thanks David!). "Big Ti Head" is something I was actually called by an internet troll in a recent flame war (one sided; I was nice) on the framebuilder's mailing list. The troll apparently thought it a clever insult. He (the troll, not David) was unintentionally hilarious.
