I believe Pipedream have been hinting at a new Ti Frame possible a Ti Sirius? Having owned a 631 Sirius I'd deffo consider a ti version. I mean, what's more bling than a ti frame and a super nice build around that??
I've found another Oz ti(nese) frame with some pretty tasty dimensions... and I can get a grand off the normal price. And they're in stock.
Now i just need to wait until my wife is super-relaxed over the holidays...
i'm with the pinion and Ti 140/150 fox36 upfront gang..
those stating the yeti arc, its ok, good for summer, but not as multiuse as the sc chameleon
If money is no object, why compromise by having one bike to do such a wide variety of stuff?

how so? Mine seems pretty good for the winter. Clearance for 2.6 tyres and I’m only running 2.4’s so acres of clearance. Suspension, angles and brakes don’t change from summer to winter. I can get a guard on it if I wanted…
Use my ARC for all sorts of different rides and year round. In fact with 2.6 tyres it is a mini fat bike 😎
maybe i just haven't jelled with the arc, yes geomtry is same, but the ground conditions aren't,
i've purposely built my arc light, possibly too lightweight, versus my bigger travel mulleted chameleon with fox36 and 4-5 years of scrapes.. the chameleon ploughs through mud and climbs so well in winter slop, like moses parting the brown sea of mud. i'd intended to replace the chameleon, buts the arc's been a n+1
Careful, the ‘lighter is always betterer’ brigade will label you a heretic with that talk…
How light we talking?

I've never owned a Ti frame but although raw titanium is practical, I don't think it looks half as a good as a steel frame painted an awesome colour (like my spectacularly PINK Moxie or my old orange Soul).
If its truly money no object, Moots Womble.
I’d like a Stooge Ti Dirtbomb designed for a 130 or 140mm fork please. That or a Curtis.
Just read about the Stanton situation. That’s rubbish. Always liked the look of their bikes but out of my price range unfortunately. The Sherpa and Switch9er are lovely looking HT’s.
