This goes to show that I should not be allowed near a computer while I have money burning a hole in my pocket.

I must confess that I have just ordred one of these from Clikstand, along with the adapter ring and a titanium wind shield.

It was a close run thing that I didn't get the titanium version of the Clikstand but the mouse was wrestled from me by my family as part of what I believe is called a intervention...

Please forgive me....

I'm afraid I'm going to have to plead weakness and/or infirmity. The next question - and this is important - is where to get hold of the stuff. Direct from the U.S. of A.? Or is there someone this side of the herring pond that stocks the stuff?
 
If you want to get a hold of Ti sheets and stuff for tinkering around a mate of mine has set up soem online shop (Dutch texts only), but if you send him an email, I am sure you might work something out.

If this post is inappropriate (spelling?) please delete.

I do not have any interests etc in his shop other than the occasional things I buy from him and give him some feedback on several things I used/made.

Not heard of any in the UK yet but I'll bet diamonds that they will still be cheaper to get from the US and lets face it the postage if be weight won't be much.

The market is so much bigger over there for this kind of stiuff that they all tend to be cheaper for the same stuff than over here.

The Clikstand guy, Scott, has posted my bits but he warned me it may take 10 to 12 days :-{C)

He says it's slightly smaller than a Trangia burner but he includes a titanium ring that clips on it so it fits a clickstand (and one assumes All Trangia stoves) safely.

Pcs when it arrives.

I hope for your sake he doesn't put that its titanium on the customs dec, as there is a import cost into the UK for it :(, I got done for it last year when I ordered some titanium sheet from titanium goat.

If they can't get you one way........

when you get it could you do boil times and flame out times etc, i would be interested to see if the 'by level flame' aspect makes a difference as well as it general performance! cheers!

Yup, I bet I get hit for import duty, fair enough but it always seams to add a week to the delivery time.

Will do test boils etc, I know theres oz markings on the inside but will use a big syringe to fill it accurately for these, record start water temps etc.

will be interesting to establish if weight saving is the only advantage, will look forward to it
