58cm Custom Titanium Frame only

Posted on
  • Hi,

    I've just received a custom built titanium fixie/SS frame from Waltly Titanium which I order about 8 weeks ago.

    I used to ride a fixie a lot and loved it but it was killing my knees. I stopped for a couple of years but then recently decided screw it, let's go the full 9 yards and build a custom titanium beast. I've jumped back on my old fixie to get back into it and my knees are playing up again after about a week.

    Sadly I just don't think my knackered knees are up to it so I think I'm going to have to pass this one on.

    The frame is meant to be a 'do it all' frame so has a eyelets for mudguards and rear pannier if ever needed. Cable routing to rear brake it internal.

    Geometry is:

    Seat tube (C-C) - 540
    Seat tube (C-T) - 580
    Top tube (Horz) - 570
    Seat tube angle - 73 -
    Head tube angle - 74
    Head tube length - 200
    Chainstay length - 430
    BB drop - 67

    Tube diameters are:

    Down tube - 38.1
    Head tube - 38.1
    Top tube - 31.8
    Seat tube - 31.8
    Seat stay - 16
    Chain stay - 23x15 ovalised to 19

    Frame comes with a lifetime warranty. From my research Waltly are very good with honouring warrantees but they won't cover shipping it back to them. But as you'll see from the close-ups below the welding is spot on.

    I'm looking for £600 so grab a bargain.


  • Gorgeous! Shame it didn't work out for you. I assume you went through a proper fitting to get it right for you?

  • Yup, paid £90 to get it all spot on, but it's not totally wasted. I'm going to get another frame built to the same measurements but a road 130mm spacing rather than the track 120mm this frame has.

    Just need to 'release the equity' in this frame first so I can through it all again!

  • No one fancying some Ti?

  • If it helps you, it is possible to have a gear cassette of up to 5 gears in 120mm width, I have once built that and it works very well.

  • Thanks for the heads up on that but I'm kinda going for the no compromise option so looking at the 11spd options that are out there.

    Any interest?
