Looking for some inspiration on this draggiest of draggy days for a new build.
All bike styles appreciated 8)
I will get the ball rolling with my sadly departed 1997 Hei Hei :

Well thank you.
My day didn't drag at all 😛
Surprising really, this place is full of titanium 'ego-chariots'... anyhoo, here's a pic of one of mine for the record:

I like 'em. Even if they aren't bikes for life as some would have you believe.
I haven't been down to Brandon since the last thread Mark, but will give you a shout when I do.

Si, dunno what it is about it, but every time I see a pic of the Ti Brodie Holeshot, I get momentarily lost in thoughts of "I'm sure I could afford it if I just sold pretty much everything else I own"... 😉
Seriously though, I don't think there is a more "right" looking frame out there. If it rides even half as good as it looks I'm sure it amazing.
Oh, and should be able to add to this thread soon myself with my muchly cheap 2nd hand Ti purchase from the other weekend, as soon as I've got it built at least.
I think you may have already seen mine LMTTMark.
But just in case you haven't...

I'm off to Enigma bikes on Saturday, they've got an open day, demos and test rides. Should be fun.

The last one, an On-one Ti/Carbon prototype, is no longer a complete bike (groupset is on the Sabbath, wheels sold). If anyone is interested then the frame & forks are for sale 🙂
Just finished building it finally...

Hey Simon I bought one of those On One prototypes for my wife. It was a bargain and is still much admired.
BTW if anyone wants to buy a nice medium Ti hardtail frame for £300 + P&P then email for pics and spec.
