After steel, aluminium and carbon comes a titanium road project. (and the first project I have ever documented)
Will try to finish it in time for the "Omloop" and some training rides before around Ghent.
I don't want to break the bank with this one, but I do want to know what all the Ti fuss is about.
It's not going to be a weenie, but will source the "nicer" parts for it.
Broad plans are, if I like the Ti will be buying a custom frame next year and transplant the lot.
I sourced an older Van Tuyl VT980 for cheap, got rid of the wide bladed forks, the logo's will be removed, frame needs some love and am expecting an Easton fork I got here which will be debadged and matte coated.
Things in my head now are a new Chorus groupset, Zipp beyond black finishing, proper wheels still undefined but have a set DT Swiss R24 which I am going to use. Have a green King SV I will be repurposing and will be the only color on the build so far.
Keywords are naked Ti and all black finishing, but thinking it might become boring.
The state of it today sans fork:
