You got it Len! (I was waiting for someone to chime in to say that...) Actually it's "CP Titanium" (Commercially Pure) That's a lot of the problem with Teledyne Titans, early Campy Ti bits, etc. Dale Brown Greensboro, North Carolina USA http://www.classicrendezvous.com -----Original Message----- From: lennys_email@juno.com To: classicrendezvous@bikelist.org Sent: Fri, 27 Oct 2006 9:27 AM Subject: [CR] Titanium BBs etc.
I'm no expert but my understanding was that the issue with the Campag
Ti BBs and pedal axles was that they were made from raw titanium, as
opposed to the far stronger alloys currently in use.
One would think that if it was good enough for Captain America's
shield, it would be good enough for Campagnolo, but go figure.
