  1. Well done for building your own frame, I wanted to do this at my old place of work but titanium tubing is expensive. On the next frame, personally I'd spend a little more time cleaning the tubes with scotchbrite before welding to eliminate the black/dirt around the welds. Get the tubes as shiny as possible for the cleanest welds. And maybe an acid dip and wash to clean the frame and finish it off nicely :)

  2. Thanks guys, appreciate the replies. Grinding the rim is a new one on me, but I understand why it's done. I quite like the idea of my rims staying white and running a disc brake would allow that but I can't get out of my head that a disc on the back just won't quite do the job, and research on here is a mind field in terms of what disc brakes are worth using and what aren't. I'm going to run hydraulic brakes either way as I don't like cable brakes.
