I was hunting for titanium blue...did not find, so I am just going to get regular colored titanium ball ends.

But I see some brass ball ends popping up once in a while at a fraction of the cost. I thought that brass was a soft metal also.
Hey raffaelli, if you want to keep unsprung weight and other masses down to a minimum, I would highly suggest that you stay away from those brass balls like the plague. If you hold a bag of them in one hand and a bag of aluminum/ti in another, you won't think twice about it
