A few things left to finish off (shorten brake hoses, align rim/tyre etc!), but this is my latest build;

Very nice indeed, I really like the subtle look of it. Hope it rides well too, I'm sure it will!
Interesting to see more Ti builds - I'm looking at building up a Ti hardtail too, Enigma Ego is favourite at the moment. Where did you get the seatpost/clamp and stem from?
I dont think thats a Lancaster....

My Lancaster had normal seat stays not a wishbone arrangement...

Yours looks like a better model to me.
Nice, is that a Van Nic bar on it too?
That looks like an on one 456 Ti to me.
That is absolutely stunning. Not usually a fan of Ti HTs, but that one is spot on. How does it ride?
Lucky Strike - literally

Not familiar with the Lancaster, but the older LS's had the wishbone seatstay arrangement. The replacement Black Widow went to a webbed plate IIRC - same as on the current VN xc race model
Deffo not an on one - it has an Airborne head badge
LS also has shaped oval TT and DT - can't quite see from your photos. And wishbone shaped seat stays and chainstays - definately visible in your shots
I think the Lancaster was plain tubing??

As per one of my other posts - I'm gutted as my Lucky Strike broke end of last month. Beautiful bike, stunning ride.
Thanks for the comments guys. Wasn't 100% sure which model it was, assumed a Lancaster - although I think you may be right rkk01 about it being a Lucky Strike (just Googled it). It does indeed have oval tubing on the TT and DT :o)
Rides brilliantly. First HT I've had for some time, and it's very rapid compared to my full sussers, particularly the acceleration and climbing!
Wow, what a stunning bike! Bet that cost a few squids to build!
It's a Lucky Strike - I know because I used to have one and boy was it ace!
My old one -

And the same bike with the commuting wheels on.

It was an 18" and the frame got sold several years ago through the forums - perhaps it is the same beast!
That looks cool with the slicks on Ashley. The silver crank arms you had confirm I need the Middleburns when then have the Duo back in stock!
