a work contact lead me to the titanium factory that customized their frame geometry for me and worked-out the finer parts of the build. all other ti components are their standard offering.
just finished the build, some fine tuning to be done as noted (brake lever, better pedal match + cages, etc.) – but couldn’t wait to share.
extremely pleased w/ the frame build and ride quality.
oh – components?
frame + fork: 3Al/2.5V ti
bars, stem, spacers, headset, seatpost: ti
wheels: Record hubs lacedvia Competition spokes to CXP33s
pedals: temporary (sourcing old Campy track pedals)
brake: NOS Record caliper **LEVER IS TEMPORARY*** (sourcing something appropriate)
saddle: Selle Italia Flite Titanium

I like it, providing you do something with that lever and cages, as stated.

awesome its a custom built titanium bike.
critique:
obvious brake lever change…might as well go baller status with a paul components. or maybe a dia compe shot lever that you can pull from either side. please please please put some grips on this. some basic black oldschool ourys would be just fine. i would stick with black to continue the super understated look. i would personally flip the stem for a touch of rise as opposed to a touch of drop…that’s just me though.
overall not my style but cant help but appreciate it, kudos
