Why oh why is it 125 rear spacing! How easy is it to respace a Phil Wood to 125 and have it still work with Omniums?
-
Does a 125mm rear end work with both 120mm wheels and 130mm wheels ?
Depends how stiff it is i suppose.Point is there.
-
the frame is still available, frame weight is 1540g. can offer a Pro carbon slim road fork NOS for an extra 50.
-
it weighs 1540g.
-
the fork mentioned is here:
Pro 1" carbon fork
made by the Japanese maker Pro Bikegear, the professional racing division of Shimano.
the weight is 532g, after cutting to match the frame might be even bellow 500g. -
I would grab that ti fork right away at any sensible price. Could u send some pix?
-
frame+fork shipped.
the ti fork would truly look nice on it, but at almost half price of the frame it's a bit steep. compare the welding time spent on a fork and on a frame. -
happy the frame+fork arrived intact. donation done! Adam Garrett is a reliable buyer.
-
I have one more identical frame, size and details exactly the same. But no carbon fork to this. I wanted to build it for myself, but after acquiring a De Rosa Titanio road frame, that is more tempting for the moment.
-
still have the second and last titanium frame, with the most beautiful welding you'll ever see.
price drop to 500 GBP shipped to UK or EU. other countries please inquire. -
exactly. I ordered 2 pieces, I wanted to keep one for myself, but now in love with my custom De Rosa Titanio, can't afford to park 2 Ti frames.
-
I can throw in a matching, slightly used Mizuno 1" threadless carbon fork for 50 pounds, which means ti frame and high class Mizuno fork 550 shipped to UK&EU, 600 to the rest of the world.
unless super-fast transaction, shipping can be done after 17 Sept. only. without fork, shipping can be done any time.

For Sale: Single speed Titanium frame, Gilbertson, New
Posted by
@Fin_de_Cycle
This frame has been custom ordered by a Dutch pro bicycle shop from the Dutch Titanium frame maker Gilbertson, for testing purposes. It is handcrafted from Grade 9 Titanium, 3AL/2.5V alloy.
From the details, the joints, the ends, the welding you can easily tell it's been a work of an expert with solid background, and not a 2 year ago founded Chinese factory that is ready to change profile with the wind. The frame was welded in a Russian factory with long history in titanium frames, and even longer in aerospace industry. Many well known EU makers order their top range from the same place. These welds should be taught at master builders' workshop. All the above is nothing but my humble opinion, you are welcome to overwrite it with yours.
The bike is not a track racing frame, and has never been intended to be so. It was styled for street use, with rear brake-bridge and brake cable guides on top tube.
The workmanship quality and the sensible, solid tube selection, in line with the size and shape of rear end and the brake bridge elements makes it a high end street specific titanium frame. It is not a conversion of any kind, it was never intended for any other use than street, so please don't compare it with titanium track nor road frames. I respect those preferring track frames and no brakes for the roads, I do use them in certain cases and roads, but the versatility and safety of that is having some reasonable issues.
Size:
ST: 565mm (C-C), 605mm (C-T)
TT: 570mm(C-C)
HT: 166mm
Rear end: 125mm, BB: 68mm ISO/BSA Standard
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
Seat-tube outer size for clamp: 31.8mm
Head-tube size: 1"
