Hey guys, long time no speak! I'm doing another build - but its not RC related I'm afraid, its a bicycle (sorry)!

I'm after some rare-as-hens-teeth titanium skewers, but the only shop I can find that still has them in stock (they were discontinued a long time ago) will not post outside the US. I was just wondering if by chance anyone on here lives close by, a long shot I know!

Here's the address of the shop:

4361 S Parker Rd
(Quincy & Parker)
Aurora, CO 80015

If by chance you do, and you'd entertain the idea of picking them up and posting them to me (I will obviously cover time/costs) then please can you PM me.

I know I should probably post this on a bike forum, but I don't frequent those, and I trust you guys on here, and many people have been kind enough to help me with these things in the past.

Cheers!

Ben

In case nobody is able to help out there are a couple of other options.

1) Use a cross border shipping service like Shipitto
2) Call a UPS shipping point store in CO and ask if they would ship it to you. If yes then have the Bike shop ship it to them.

Ben,

You can have them shipped to me and I can send to you.

Thanks for the replies and help guys, I just spoke to the shop owner and even though his website says he has stock, it turns out he doesn't, gutted!

Just out of curiosity, which Ti Skewers, and what length (130/135mm)? I may have some old Salsa Flip-Offs somewhere in Ti.

Thanks, I'm after some Roval Ti skewers (100/130mm Road) to go with my Roval wheels, they come with steel ones as standard, but why have steel if you can have Titanium!

I don't think they even sold them in the UK, I cannot find a set anywhere!

For anyone interested, this is how I bought it (a good place to start)
And this is it now, fully stripped, cleaned and polished!
Let the fun begin!
