That you go resto mod. That bike is too “right” to go doing black rims and spoke skins.🤪

Does it fit, and, is it remotely straight?

Over the years, I've read, And seen ( personally, when friends have bought them) very little praise of them.

I hope yours is a good one.

I have to say, your 'starting point' bike, looked to be in great shape for a bike of 25 to 26 years of age. A great  find.

Though, going Ti pushes you a bit past a basic Resto, Zero!

Me, I've 3 Ti bolts, though, only one at a time, on my CRE- each one holding the Tank / Seat interface 'bobbin' on my std Tank, an IMS 12 litre, and my Aluminium Drop tank I made.

I'm extravagant, I am 😁. Well, no, they were some bolts left over from some MTB Ti bolt kits from decades ago - Freebies!

Keep an eye on the steel inserts on the AC sub, they like to come loose and cause issues.
