Seriously, go for it if that's what you want, but like others have said it WILL be expensive. Not if you "borrow" it from some place

My thought is................why would you want to lose weight in the area where it would be of the greatest benefit? Hmmmm....how much would a titanium k-frame weigh?

The only downside is it is supposed to be a carcinogen in the dust form. Lung cancer is a real risk. Hang out at the Brush Wellman factory and see if there are any scraps in the trash (not likely because of the health issues). Floyd Lippencott IV
