  • Im selling my commuter and my road bike so I can condense them down to one all-rounder. I want the handling of the CAAD12 but with the ability to run 37c-ish tyres as I commute along the Lea valley. The plan is to run 650's during the week and then pop on some Zipp's for the weekend.

    I can't really find an off the peg bike frame I like so i've been mulling over having something made. My budget is fairly limited so I have whittled it down to a steel Rychtarski or Titanium Walty. Both seem to have good reviews and both are reasonably priced.

    Has anyone got any thoughts on what road I should take.

  • Steel can’t crack but might rust, titanium can’t rust but might crack. Preventing rust is far easier than preventing cracks.
