Yes, you're absolutely way more hip, and must have a far greater net worth.
Really - $129 for a single cog - just plain wow. 
Must chug gallons of Koolaid to even consider this over a $25 Surly.
The best is the one you want to ride most often..

Yea, I am with you man. I switch between an alloy cogalicious and a surly. Both are wonderful. I have yet to see any evident wear after a couple hundred miles on the alloy cog.
I would follow you into the mists of Avalon if that's what you mean.
If all else fails, I blame it on my tiny wheel size

Nice! I'm building my SS now and I really think I should add this to my list or...feed my kids. Hmmm. Choices, choices.

Put the kids on half rations for awhile.

Would be more reasonable with a $50 in the can.
If the cog were handmade I could see a price tag of $130, but not for one that is machine cut. Heck the CK stainless cogs are only $50 out the door and have yet to wear one out.
-
Jokes aside, is this really more for bling or is the theory that a TI cog would last much longer than any other material? I have each of the Surly, Niner, and now CK and they're all good as new. Well, maybe slightly noticeable wear on the Niner but that's a given.

Paging: Crazy 8 or HBC
I gonna guess that there is some heavy wear and tear on the cutting tools and cost for higher labor on these? Oh and it says Niner on it ! Paging: Machinist ...
You became weak loafing around in that big girly gear! -Soares

hey you know what's stupid? Titanium cogs, that's what.

what if HBC was contracted to machine this? hmmm..
everything sucks but my vacuum cleaner.

^^ Perhaps, Niner feels a void in the niche market created by Boone & HBC has grown to be worth pursuit.
To those willing to play roulette with HBC, or eBay for a used Boone then $130 may seem a real steal. 
Until I start pooping gold nuggets, I'll be mashing away on a Surly.

+1 on Surly ... @ 21.99 they are great for finding what gear you are gonna stick with. Maybe if you are gonna be in say 32x21 90% of the time...nah ... to much! I splurged on an hbc 19t but my other 3 boys are Surly's.

32x21? Is that for trials?

Check out the HBC thread. People have been waiting a year for a product. Considering they have my money and still no cog, it almost justifies getting the Niner ti model without the hassle of dealing with HBC.
