Show us your Titanium! - Ti and Stainless bikes

Yeah I emailed them last year about a frame but they never responded so I went to Waltly 🤷🏼‍♂️

My wife got a custom Titan this year. They briefly shut during Covid but they're still making them. We went with Titan on this build as they were cheaper than Waltly and had a shorter build time. I've got a Waltly and the experience with Titan was practically identical.

I got one at the end of last year, was really impressed by the communication. But the site I contacted them on has been down for months now.

Ah odd, that's a shame if that's the case.

Does anyone know anything about Cielo Rosso titanium framesets? Saw an interesting looking one at a guy's house I was visiting to potentially buy another bike he was selling

Think it's time to sell my beloved Lynskey. Going to try and flog the frameset at some point this summer if possible. It's a lovely thing but never fit quite right.

it looks great setup like this though, slammed and all> what is wrong with the fit ?

Kills my lower back! I'd ploughed on with it for 2 years because I was too stubborn to admit i'd bought the wrong size bike. A tiny bit less reach and a few cm more stack and it'd be perfect.
Lusting after either a full blown aero bike, or a nice rim brake Condor Super Aciaio. We'll see how much this one sells for first.

So a short riser stem?

Aesthetic blasphemy.

Admittedly, the handling is a bit too nervous for my liking, and i'm keen for a change.

Still got to cut the chimney stack and find a nice straight seatpost (this centaur is a place holder)

Those Colnago decals are fab.

Same with Ribble's ti offering, I think.

Thanks, did sile custom ones as the originals are a bit boring.

Noice. Seatpost looks good, swap the gold chain for silver and bdhu and you're away

really like the decals, may I ask where you had them done?

@timmah! Not bad but a tad long with this seat post so will no doubt go for less of offset. Chain was new and laying around, i will change it when its dead probably.

@mattyc decals i drew myself, and got them printed at allstickers a french guy who does nice work.
All done on adobe illustrator, using og colnago typography and playing with the mapei cubes to get to a playful new thing.
Very happy how they turned out.

Nice!

Hints of Rock Lobster...

Yeh that was also part of my inspiration 👌

No way. This is insanely cool. I was curious as I'd never seen Colnago decals like that ever. Really nice work.

Hehe thanks very much !

Looks amazing with those decals, a Croc Lobnago 😅

If you could put up with it, a -17 degree stem to line up with the top tube would be "le chef's kiss"

Yeh seat post and stem are going to be the first changes.
I got the zipp combo for pretty cheap so will do for now and i will dial it in as time goes.

Anyone had any dealings with nua

Looking to get a new commuter frame and my current framebuilder has been long for a variety of reasons.

Also loving being out on the lynskey. It makes me ridiculously happy..
