Does anyone know anything about Russian experiments with titanium bikes in the 60's? I remember when Ti was getting big in the early 90's one of the articles of the day alluded to the Soviets building titanium bikes in the 60's. One of the interesting things to carry over from the day's of Russians riding classic Italian bikes is that many of the titanium bikes coming to the states after Perestroika were Italian threaded. enjoy, Brandon"monkeyman"Ivess SB, CA --
