Apparently, rumour has it that, on occasions I’ve got a little carried away when it comes to building the odd custom bike. It normally starts with a simple idea before progressing into a fully fledged obsession (or is that addiction?) There, I said it, so can we move on now?

Italian component manufacturer Carbon-Ti have just launched their 2010 product range and, as the company name suggests, their parts make full use of the esoteric properties of both materials. Everything from seat clamps, quick releases, hubs, chain rings and finishing parts. All gravity defyingly light weight and with a unique Italian style about them. Just the way I like it.

Treat yourself, the Carbon-Ti way.
