Saw one of these in Nirvana Cycles this afternoon:

It was 'if you have to ask, you can't afford it' expensive. £3200 for frame only. Titanium front, carbon rear.
Some overpaid banker will buy it, to mince around a trail centre once per year, no doubt.
Personally, I don't like it, so even if I had £3K burning a hole in my pocket, I wouldn't buy it..
I think I'm with you xiphon but's nice to have seen one.
I said to the chap in the shop that you'd have to be sh*t hot on a bike to get away with riding something like that!
Have seen an original CR7, it was prettier and cooler.
I don't really see the point of having a Ti and carbon fs?
Ti is springy right and carbon is stiff right. I suspect that that combination of ti and carbon would present the riding characteristics of a wet noodle.
Deleted.
Rigid SS FTW.
I would expect that tiny swingarm pivot to play a bigger part in making it ride like a wet noodle.
You can tell you have a small child geetee, as the spelling is poo. However you were clearly thinking of 'Winnie' 🙂
P.S. That frame looks pale lilac.
Titanium frames are only "springy" if you build them that way! 🙄
Likewise, carbon is only stiff if the tubes are woven that way.
As for the bike...I can't help but think it's a little under-designed given the price and the manufacturer.
Got one of its bog-standard aluminium predecessors - brilliant bike.

Not so shiny these days though.
Eaugh!
I have the FTM Exogrid version, its an excellent bike and doesn't handle like a wet noodle!
