After the decompression and fusion on my neck, it will all be held together with a titanium plate. I was quite disappointed to learn I will not be setting of alarms at airport metal detectors...

Darn, sorry to hear you won't set off the alarms at the airport.

You'll be the ti-woman..:)

Good to know you will have a quality plate for your neck. Now do you have that TI bike to finish off the ensemble?:D

When are you having your op for this Snap?

Well, you know, you want to save all the weight you can! Steel would be too heavy. :rolleyes::D

And here I thought it was a new bike. New neck parts instead is awesome! Good luck on your surgery!

I am so glad you're getting titanium and not carbon. Having carbon in there would be like having a ticking time bomb in your neck parts. ;)

Take care, Snap!!

WooHoo! Last day of work for 11 (that's right! Eleven!) weeks! I'm surprised no one slapped me today, I was walking around with a sh*t eating grin all day. :D

trekhawk - surgery is on October 27th, I'll be home Oct. 28.

I have never been off work for this amount of time since I began my illustrious career. :rolleyes:

Snap, I hope you have a wonderful time this weekend. You've trained your butt off so I bet you will!

I was disappointed to find out that my metal plate and four pins in my pelvis are stainless steel and not ti. But I don't set off airport alarms either! The first time I flew after my surgery, I was kinda surprised.
