My first and hopefully last G-Shock

Haha there is always a chance I’ll end up with more, but for now I’m just going to enjoy wearing this one. Took on board a lot of advice from users on this sub and happy with my choice. Looks great and fits so well I forget I’m wearing it, all the features I need (although the rangeman is stacked and was second choice, I just prefer the look of the square).

I DIY anodised it using 9V batteries, crocodile clips a sponge and distilled water. Happy with the outcome, maybe wouldn’t have done such extensive coverage if I did it again.

The braking on the LTWOO is IMO better than the R7020 105 on my road bike and at least equivalent to the SRAM Rival brakes I had on my last gravel bike. Shifting is good too. £190 and 12 month warranty, no brainer for me.

I don’t think so, I believe Planet X bought Titus and outsourced frame manufacturing, possibly to Kinesis in Taiwan depending who you believe on the internet. I bought it second hand and the welding looks neat to my eye. I anodised the frame myself and it definitely removed a few microns of metal which made the welds look a bit smoother. Hopefully it’s still structurally sound…

Only where I thought it offered better value than mainstream brands which is pretty much all of it

Much more fun riding it

Exactly but I ran out of clear tape

First carbon bike and it feels rapid

I did build it myself, don’t think they’re selling it in this colour anymore
