Show us your Titanium! - Ti and Stainless bikes

It’s SO annoying that 1,5 cm don’t allow me to ride it without back pains from the stretch.

Can you not fit a shorter stem, set slightly higher, to get that difference in reach?

That is rather nice !

Also, raw material prices increased drastically since last year, nickel's still going up and it won't drop for many months to come. That means stainless will only become more expensive for the foreseeable future.

Before i had a rather shorter stem, yes. The one pictured is not the original but a Serotta ti one. But a much shorter one would be very ugly to look at ...
I might have to try and take a picture confronting another bike I have that fits me better (a sloping 60ctc ).
Thank you for the suggestion.

Boss's bike he did for himself and his bad back, there's a very similar rohloff version done for a friend too.

Love the bars.
Never thought it was a 29 til I read the caption.

I'd badly wheelied it around the carpark before I saw that and still thought it was a big BMX when I scrolled to the photo.

Dropper was not at full extension for that, Dave's not short.

Some days off on my Van Nicholas - love it

Here's the very similar to my boss's bike I posted a link to above that was back in for a few things and a custom rack.

My Frenchy

I’ve just ‘won’ an SS Kish dripping in Paul and Phil. Now the hard part, waiting for it to land… stay tuned viewers…

Dang, that is really, really nice. Get rid of the Rotor graphics, get the bottom of the drops parallel to the ground if they're not already and that'll look very tasty indeed.

Sounds really tidy, any pictures of what is on the way?

Ebay pics. It’s not lhd he built it up as a joke and then posted the wrong set of pics. Hope it’s as nice in the metal.

Here's one we did with a rohloff belt drive hooked up to campag levers and some GRX hydro crosstops, for the lels, ignore the shit bag and lock, someone's been actually riding the thing.

Blimey!!!!

Some classier cranks (Paul Royal Flush) and levers (Campag Record?) surely on the cards?

Yeah to some nicer cranks (possibly the WIs off my mtb?) and levers, but they won’t be campag, we have a rule in this house (long boring story…)

Ok, no Campag 😀 but SRAM S900 in the running?

I’ve a pair in the shed…

Put me down for one!

I have had the same idea for a next project, functionalish fast bike that can take +32's and guards easily. Not necessarily fat tubes, but as long as it's stiff and around or under 8kg I'm happy.

These wrong driveside pics gave me a deep sense of unease. Other than that, looks nice!

Hi there everbody im hoping i can get this to upload a pic of my WITTSON ti road bike, i got the frame custom made by the guys in Lithuania which were absolutely fantastic to work with and very very patient in the design phase and very good advising possibilities for the build.frame is quite a bit different from there production frame, even the geo has changed which is great you dont get that option with mass produced frame atall. So changes from there stock frames are as follows carbon seattube bonded in onstead of ti. Polished welds makes it look seamless, window rear dropouts,ingraved rear brake bridge some custom sand blasting. And altered the geo on it.all in all a lovly built frame indeed. So i built it up with a 11speed sram red etap groupset with blips whick i love its super smooth changing gears . Wheels are enve 3.4 on chris king hubs, chris king headset and bottom bracket.enve fork,handlebars and stem. Friz saddle and bartape. Hope ye like my build it was 3years on the making and im very proud of it .

That's rad, the frame looks absolutely lush!

That’s a beauty.
