I'm bored and have been wistfully staring at a Guillem Atalaya for the last hour.
Show me your titanium road/gravel/tourer bike.

Since this I've fitted a canyon carbon post and Zipp Firecrest 303 wheels. So comfy and fast.
Tripster v1. Hadn't seen much action recently.

Laverack Jack.
Looks good fun
One in road mode, the other in gravel mode. A versatile keeper of a bike. Wistfully stare no more, just go ahead and sell your other bikes/vital organs and buy one!

Just a PX Tempest but I really like it.
Sram Rival (with carbon cranks/Garbaruk ring), Zipp 303 wheels, Pro bars/stem with Redshift hand rear things.
Comfy and fast enough for me on South Downs tracks and roads. I do prefer the GRX on my wife’s bike though, the hoods are more comfortable and I do find the double tap shifting a bit irritating at times.
Some lovely bikes above
My Van Nicholas - best road bike I've ever owned and I love the Titanium :o)
(recently sold) Planet-X Tempest. Really comfy, was great for Welsh Coast to Coast, not so good on local (easy) trails so swapped for a Nukeproof Digger.
Are those Planet X Hurricanes any good. They seem too cheap. (1500 quid at momenet)
I'd love to but Sonder but its in a build queue at Sonder central
I've lusted after a Ti gravel bike since I first saw the Camino Ti in 2017
@elshalimo - was definitely worth the wait for mine. Ordered a frame and then built it up from there.
I think I could probably get rid of my other bikes and keep just this and my full suss.
Walter (the Reilly Gradient) - still the nicest bike in the shed. Got me ‘round 3 (soon to be 4, providing I can lug my unfit rear around) Dirty Reivers and many SDW/Dales bimbles. Road wheels turns it into a super comfy mile muncher. Would recommend.
Picked this Titus up when they were on sale to replace my old Whyte. Chucked a set of PNW 520mm bars on along with their stem and dropper post and some spare 650b CK wheels to make a daft rigid drop bar xc bike.
Loads of fun and super comfortable though would probably be better suited to 29/700 so going to give that a go next.
Titus Goldrush (V3, I think - through axles, flatmount brakes, static dropouts):
In the woods with the dog.
Exploring churches in the heat...
Obligatory log pile shot....
More of a monstercross with 29*2.1 tyres!
Waltly ChiTi frame, Whisky Fork, Hunt gravel wheels, GRX etc.

Stealth ad if anyone is interested (apologies)
my friend is selling his lightly used kinesis gran fondo disc frame and forks, size 60cm. Will be going up on the classifieds as soon as he's stripped it and sent me the photos.
If anyone is interested, send me a message.

I've been out at lunchtime doing skidz in the woods ...
That Singular Kite looks really nice
Is it the new model?
No drop bars and a little more offroad oriented. Titus Silk Road:

Now fitted with AB oval chainring, and have an Eagle 10-52t cassette incoming. Hopefully to be followed by some lighter 29er wheels. Tailfin fork racks now permanently installed. 2.4 rear, 2.6 front.

Nice Fargo
Another v1 tripster. Had it about 6 years and been through various configs. Can't see myself selling it
Used to sell atalayas, good winter road bike but much better gravel bikes out there.
Two of my riding buddies have these, I might have influenced that decision 😉

Hi @elshalimo - yes new Singular Kite, came just before Christmas.
A few tweaks to standard spec for T47 bottom bracket and internal dynamo cable routing.

Enigma Escape
I'd post a pic of my Ti Kite, but it seems you need to host the pic somewhere else first?
I chucked mine onto Imgur, seemed the simplest way
@rOcKeTdOg - any views on the Atalaya as an easy bridleway/tracks and crap roads bike? Most of my riding is local crap dirty roads, farm tracks, forest tracks and easy bridleways.
Weekend Ti bump
Show me your shiny bikes

@Mackem the PX Hurricane is a very nice frame, I'd be very keen if they did a slightly bigger frame. My dad has one and it's very well made and is really comfy, it's like a magic carpet ride compared to my road bike.
Isn't the Hurricane slightly tighter on tyre clearance than the Tempest?
I don't know for sure but the Hurricane certainly can't take huge rubber but still has plenty of room. It's definitely more a comfort road focussed clearance than gravel focussed.

The most versatile bike I have ever had, and It's a keeper. 😃

Very pretty
Finally, I've ordered an Atalaya - ETA mid-August. I really hope it arrives before the end of summer.
What Stainless or Ti bottle cages do you guys have up above?
Any shiny bottle cage recommendations?
what's the difference between King Cage and King Cage iris?
I like the Planet X stainless steel bottle cage on my tTitus Mutsu Ti but currently out of stock. Similar on Aliexpress and eBay claiming to be titanium of what looks like the same design.
@ElShalimo - I've got the Iris cages on my Enigma (previous post here )
I like them - they suit the bike, grip bottles well, and they're pretty 🙂
What wheels are you guys using on your shiny bikes?
I'm looking for some nice but robust 700c wheels (I'm 95kg) for road, easy bridleways, overnight trips with soft luggage etc. Tyres will be 40-45mm
Any recommendations?
Flicking through these, some nice bikes.....
@ Ton - you're a big old unit!
@ Ton – you’re a big old unit!
I'm slightly embarrassed to admit that until recently I thought his username referred to that.
Travers for Ti bottle cage, bolts and rotor bolts.
Mine, more off road than road oriented - fully loaded and heading up and over to Shatili a couple of weeks ago.

And once home I decided to do a full strip and clean, first time since getting the bike just in time for lockdown one in MArch 2020.

SS most of the time these days, but has been Rohloff and 1X previously. I really love this bike!
What about a Pearson...
