This all seems way more interesting to me that a 13-speed wireless automatically shifting drivetrain

Everyone has their line in the sand they don't want to cross

I love the look of a well worn Time cleat

I find that straight line from headtube to rear dropout so aesthetically pleasing

I think at one point Jenson USA was blowing out Marque frames and I came really close to getting one.  Was a very interesting design.

Uses the same drift and no real tricks to the install.  In some ways it is easier as the flange will bottom out when the bearing is fully in.

I'm going to switch back to the less long dropouts and see if that helps.  After initial cable rattling, i managed to cure it with the provided ziptie locations and perhaps and generous portion of luck but I do have an annoying creak that I believe is saddle/seatpost related that I need to fix.

Glad to know I'm not the only Titan rider that has had an incident or two with wheels sliding off on log rides with turns on them.

I just put on a set of Galfer 'Pro' pads on my Zee brakes and they felt awesome right out of the box

I have a Titan and didn't get rid of cable rattle until I routed all the downtube cables under the shock and really tightened them down with a ziptie so that they were flat against the bottom of shock cradle.  You've probably done this but figured I'd throw in my 2¢
