Currently for sale on Retrobike… Wish I could afford it, one of the nicest looking (part)builds I’ve seen in quite a while!

More pics on Retrobike…

No, sorry, it isn’t. It’s pretty but looks boring. I suppose if it had disc mounts I’d be thinking something else but as it is, nope.
[Add] Much nicer a piccy, psychle. [/Add]

So good that it has to have the word TITANIUM written large on the top tube?

I agree with him^^

Didn’t they have a habit of cracking?

Sorry, was trying to decide which pic I liked best 😆

Well, I’d get rid of that if it was mine, just let the DEAN stickers speak for it…

me too (agree with hairychested)

“Didn’t they have a habit of cracking?”

Titanium doesn’t crack, it’s the strongest material to build a bike with known to man!

Nope. Does nothing for me.

Especially the Early Learning Centre graphics.

Ooh, I always wanted a DEAN ti. I like it.
(Wouldn’t buy it though!)

Wot, no Dean seatpost?

So the USE ti seatpost that snapped cleanly on my bike was made of non-ti ti?

I snapped mine

GlitterGary speaks the truth!

I thought I read something years ago about some of the early DEAN Ti frames cracked. It is a nice bike though.

DezB – I think you were there when I snapped mine

If it had cracked, wouldn’t he say in the advert?

DezB is also correct!

DezB – I think you were there when I snapped mine

It’s a sound that haunts me to this day…

Sarcasm doesn’t come across very well on the internet does it GG?

s’funny, I’m sure when it was new it was considered a cookie cutter generic titanium frame, being IIRC built by Sandvik in Washington state who built half the big brands’ Ti offerings, and didnt have the cache of a Litespeed let alone a Merlin.

Still, always liked the brushed look, I had a Dean Ti post that was a perfect match for my Obed (as were the Titec Ti bar and stem).

I don;t think it looks particularly pretty, but I almost bought one back in the 90s….

What was I thinking of?
