Ti-ght

My new bike will have 91 individual pieces of titanium. Not possible? Remember that 72 can be spokes, and it’s not so crazy. 19 more pieces?
4 MacNeil pegs
4 3/8 Profile axle bolts (Mini hubs)
6 stem bolts
1 LHD 9t driver
1 Profile spindle
2 Profile spindle bolts
1 MacNeil seat bolt

I suppose that it would be possible to get brake lever bolts, a seat clamp bolt, and 4 U brake bolts too.
(Granted, this is all stupid. Jason Enns told me in August that he was proud to be titanium-free now, which makes sense to me, if not my back.)
