"Titanium is slippery"?

The truck tire didn't "test" the Ti tube the same as the other two. The
ledge in the badly broken-up driveway took the truck's weight, allowed
the tire to push the rolling tube along the driveway, and the roll-over
weight looks like it was partly borne by the Alu tube.

"Enhancements"? Like forming ("partially crushing") the tube? Good
idea. Let's try this over again with a tube that doesn't roll or skid,
and stands alone to bear the weight of the noisy-riding mud tire on
that stinky oversize penis-mobile that ol' Dufus there drives solo to
work and 3/4 mile back and forth from the beer store.

Ti: diamond-hard miracle metal that never breaks when used to make
bicycle frames. Right?

Time for more coffee and less grouchy. Beg pardon.

Just for curiosity, is this a known framebuilder or employee of same?
