Titanium Tempest

This is what arrived whilst I was injured - built up and swapped most of the stock parts for my own bits.

Mine arrived finally today, looks very similar to yours, in 'fact' a guy on a cycling forum who has both said he can't tell much difference...

<laugh><laugh><laugh> It is mostly titanium yes. I was considering a custom titanium road bike as well because of that. But bikes and bike parts are an absolute nightmare to source at the moment. I normally build them myself, but don’t have the dexterity or strength in my hand, so I had to take the Cannondale to a bike shop and it took them 2 months to source a part. I’ll have to leave the Ti road bike until the parts situation improves.

Ambidextrous comes in handy ( excuse the pun)
In those situations…. I’m one of the lucky ones,
Hold anything with either hand !!!! Lol…
Snooker cue
Cricket bat
Pen/ pencil
Golf clubs…. What I’d give to be better though…

I don’t think ambidexterity, or what ever you may call it is an illness!

They look amazing! Are they professional standard bikes (if such a thing exists?!)

I’m sure they are ££££££’s in cost

Not really professional standard. They’re decent enough mind. My problem is I cannot leave anything as standard <laugh> so both are very different to how they left the shop - courtesy of Zipp components.

I can do a lot more things left handed than I could before my injury. It has made me realise how dominant my right hand was. I can do all my office stuff left handed. Probably got 60-70% useful use of my right hand and arm back. As it was out of use for so long it’s amazing how much you have to think to move it in a co-ordinated fashion. Getting there but it’s taking a lot longer than I ever thought it would.
