I am the original owner of a 2000 Litespeed Owl Hollow hardtail titanium mountain bike and was in…read moreserious contemplation of buying a new bike as I wanted a frame that could accommodate disc brakes. At the same time, my Litespeed had great sentimental value and it fit me perfectly and I always intended to keep/ride it for a lifetime. After numerous internet searches and contacting as many Ti repair/fabricating businesses as possible, I am so glad I found and utilized the outstanding craftsmen of Ti Cycles Fabrication in the beautiful state of Oregon. First and foremost, they maintain excellent and consistent communications throughout the process. My main contact, Mr. Eric Herboth, was very professional and courteous every time I had an inquiry about what was to be done with my frame and costs. In addition, he provides that confident reassurance that in relation to ti frame modifications/repairs, he's done it all and seen it all. I'll admit, I was nervous about sending my beloved MTB frame to be modified as if you do a web search of Ti frame modifications, you'll come across a lot of shoddy work or read about unreliable shops that just take your money and hold your frame for months on end. In other words, if you value your Ti frame, be very careful in who you choose to modify it. Or take the simple route and contact Ti Cycles Fabrication to do it as they will modify your frame beautifully and within reasonable time. The modifications I requested were the following: 1) Add reinforced rear disc brake tab; 2) Add/modify cable guides along the top tube to accommodate a hydraulic cable; 3) Add cable guides along rear seat stay for a hydraulic cable and; 4) Remove old v-brakes bosses/studs After about two months, I received my new frame back and I was blown away! The modifications were done so well that it looked like there were no modifications at all but it was just a stock disc brake frame. The welds were all precise, clean and straight. Beautiful welding. In addition, I was so glad I chose to have Ti Cycles remove my old v-brake bosses/studs (originally, I planned on doing it myself with some elbow grease and sand paper). The removal of the old studs were absolutely seamless. Just so well done that I can't even tell where the old studs used to be since they buffed and polished up their work so well. Simply stunning. Finally, they reinstalled my old headset (the frame needs to be sent stripped down but I didn't have the tool to remove my headset so it remained when I sent it to them) and they did it with meticulous attention to detail so that the Chris King logo on the top and bottom cups were facing forward and aligned with each other. That is the type of precision any bike lover could appreciate! In terms of their pricing as I did shop around for estimates, they are not the cheapest but they are also not the most expensive. So I would say their pricing is more than fair especially when you see the results of their excellent craftsmanship. Thank you again Eric and Ti Cycles Fabrication! See you on the trails!

I am thankful that they carry Selle Italia products. Namely, the SLR Ti Superflow saddle I wanted. They even took time to ensure I was purchasing the proper width saddle.

5 star hike, minus one star for noisy conditions…read more Less than 1 hour from Portland, this trailhead is about 17 miles west of Banks. The turn off, Beaver Dam Road, from Hwy 6, is well marked and you get lots of warning. Immediately on the right is a road crew area. There is a trailhead on the other side of that, but you can't park there. If you go straight though, and then make a left at the T, you'll come to a large parking area with potties, info, and another trailhead. You can see it as point of origin on the map I posted, this is where I set out for my 8.2 mile hike. I ended it at the trailhead by the work area. You could also turn right at the T and drive to any number of trailheads, including one that makes getting to University Falls a shorter walk. I prefer the long way. I took to the trail on Jan 3, during a break in the rain. It was very wet. Often there was water running directly down the trail, and it got deep enough to slosh over the toes of my boots. Mud was often 3" deep, or more. Large puddles on the trail you just have to walk through. No going around. Not a big deal since I had my waterproof hiking boots and merino socks. Just wanted you to know your converse high tops aren't going to cut it. It was about 45-48 degrees, and the sun broke thru a couple of times. Not very windy, so my merino base and lite mid were just right. Kept my shell open most of the hike. It was beautiful, truly. The river was kind of raging, all churned up mud and white rapids. The trail was well marked and easy to follow up and down the groves of trees. The two waterfalls were breathtaking, especially University Falls, which was as full as any photo I've seen. The water was definitely higher than usual. I loved every bit of the trail. And now the minus one star. There was constant noise from motorcycles and firearms. I don't want to editorialize about dirt bikes and hand cannons, but it was hard to immerse myself in nature with the omnipresent noise. There was no place on that trail where I couldn't hear it. The dirtbikes are thankfully not on the hiking trail. There is a separate trail system for that, and the tracks do cross sometimes so keep an eye out. For mountain bikes, you'll hear the dirtbikes. I have no idea where the shooters were, but they were close. No comment, not looking to have that discussion. It's just good to know before you get there what it will be like. Enjoy the photos.
