Not confirmed, but suggesting £2200 for the frame only.

That's quite a premium over most titanium frames, especially from a manufacturer who hasn't made (commissioned) one since about 1995!

Just noticed the pricing on the Five and Alpine Formula build - £6700 - Makes the Hope HB160 look like a bargain!

They last did a titanium bike in 2008 from memory.

Like the return of the Formula name for the top end stuff. That name hasn’t been about since 1991ish. If I had that to spend my money would be going to Hope though.

But this is a different matter all together porn !

Shame the costing is now soo high they are only marketing themselves on the 5 years interest free market

Priced in line with other comparable bikes. Loads yes, unusual no.

Half already taken by all accounts. Yes it is a lot of money, but there will always be people paying it. Personally I think it’s stunning, but I don’t have £6k...

Those orange Fox forks look crap on most bikes, but they look particularly shit on what could otherwise be a classy, understated ti hardtail.

I do like this alpine6 in Matt black..
But if I had that money to spend I'd probably go with a HB160 or two canyon CF's

I’d go for a Kinesis Sync but the T7 does look awesome.

I’d probably have to consider a new generation Cotic Soda with the current Soul geometry over both of these, if they were ever to produce a titanium version again.

For that kind of money on a Ti frame I would want a much nicer disk mount. It looks horrible in my eyes and I prefer them on the chainstay, not above the seatstay. Just looks a bit 'cheap' to me.

Ti frame is nice but slightly bonkers money.

Strange to choose a 44mm HT when they could have gone 56/44 to allow owners the opportunity to play around with anglesets.

Also, surprised the armchair engineers on here haven't mentioned the lack of gussets on a frame with a very slack HA....perhaps the real engineers know something they dont.

Also, dont the Kingdom and Stanton Ti frames have nice CnC'd yokes ..for less money.

I think it looks pretty cool, but then I'm a sucker for a HT with long forks 😀

It says "designed in the UK", they'd not say that if they made it themselves

Not very classy from kingdom there imo. Trying to get publicity by slagging others off? I imagine they sell their bikes for what they can but never heard of them myself.

that T7 has grown on me over the last 24 hours, crazy money though, any pics of the T9?

I don't think what Kingdom have done is that bad, are they slagging orange?

Kingdom just pointing out the obvious imo. Orange have the most expensive stickers in the world

Absolutely, a nice Nordest Barino Ti frame, with a Chris King headset, and a Fox36 factory fork...for less than the £2200 Orange frame alone. Wut.

Crazy

I thought the Kingdom post was pretty measured to be honest.

The only reason I didn't buy a Kingdom when they had the pre-order price was the high BB after people pointed it out on here. I still can't quite figure it out.

It's nice.
But is it a million miles away from a Titus Fireline frame you can get for £600?

I have one and can't fault it.

Maybe not a million miles but quite different to say the least! Ti probably the closest thing!
