I like this build apart from the post. I know they're good but just think it's a bit ugly.
Other than that and some black tape, it's mint!

Looking good. Bjorn is correct- White tape and saddle are needed.
Technically you need a Ti post to match the stem, but I'd be terrified of it welding itself in.

Had plenty of bikes with ti on ti. Not really a concearn unless one plans to leave it for years imo.

galvanic corrosion should only be a problem if you pair titanium with a less noble metal such as aluminium or carbon steel. Ti on Ti should be pretty stable.

Cheers for the comments guys, warming towards black tape but the grey was half price so thought fuck it.
Just done 65k on this mostly A roads (A24) and some muddy bridle ways (cringe). The only word I can describe the frame as is orgasmic. It really is like a magic carpet.
I was getting some pins in needles in my left wrist and fingers so will try rotating the bars slightly. And consider swapping out the post for an inline for a slightly more upright position.
I completely agree with the Ti post, have my eye out for a Kent Eriksen one, so if you see one drop me a PM.
Shit picture, the roads around dorking aren't massively inspiring.

Embrace the spacer/short stem; keep the long stem for internet fame photos

Leave the tape grey imo

Glad your enjoying the ride the frame gives, they really are bloody fantastic!

^^ I concur
Id vote for a white tape. The only real option in white is leather tho to keep it looking clean in the long run. Ive had great luck using handlebra. Looks awesome either way!
Yep still have the ottrott, for sale that is..
