Tadaaaaaaa!
You might want to give the gopping forks a miss though.

Middleburns
SLX brakes
Crests on XTR M965, XTR rotors
Van Nic post
Spoon armchair
Silver fleegles and thomson
Salsa QR seat collar
Surly tugnut (x2)
Oh, and shonky chainring.

Thinking of selling the frame and fork.

Still without doubt my favorite bike of all time.

I know this isn’t what your after but Im building my Christmas present up at the moment, nearly done.

rich, have you got a 640x version of those pics?! Some of us live down the far end of an aluminium telephone line you know!

looking fine even with my dodgy eyesight!

no 640 pixels!
Those are humungous pics and taking a while to download.

Rich from what I hear you like to criticise photos then get your bum smacked by the admin [ your poor right to free speech cruelly suppressed] and then banned # small world 😉

I,m still smarting from that banning! Stoner you need to move to the city!

I’ve had Ti frames since before the matching bolts got put in my skull, though I seem to have more of an affinity with them now than ever before 😉

The ridiculously good Tripster ATR is getting a makeover – with a proper bling build ready for summer (which is just around the corner, ahem). As it is, it’s just hammering the muddy lanes and tracks at the moment, and looking lovely:

The Lynskey Mk1 Ti456 was a top bike:

Had a Rock Lobster Team Ti that I managed to magic gear, which was good fun:

It all started a fair few years ago – this was a Litespeed road frame that rode very sweetly:

The best bike in the world

there seems to be a distinct lack of Ti seatpost with ti frame? is it not the done thing? *now has doubts about sticking an erikson in the sheep*

Hope didnt do an eternity in ti ….. And i wanted a hope seat pin.

If I could afford a decent ti post in I would been looking for some moots ones at the right price!

I like the jones Ti diamond and the spaceframe is lovely as well..and the burls roadbike. Stoner, if you ever get bored of the truss forks i’ll have em back of ya for another project. Johnclimber, yours must be second bestest as mine is more lovlier and slinky 😉

thinking of something like this, but with gunmetal rather than mango

got a Use sumo in Ti but its bent and one of the clamps cracked! bought 2nd hand

My KingdomBike Supreme 650B. It’s had a few changes since, but more or less the same.

Northwinder, what rigid forks are you using there?

They’re the hylix ones- same as trail_rats (though I think he broke his?) I think they’re designed as 29er but they’re 450mm axle to crown so work well in my 26er.

Definitely no issues with a ti post in a ti frame. I’m running the Thomson on my Mosaic, but there is an Eriksen post on it’s way to me for my Jones.

keep me for future reference

Salsa Ala Carte ti 650b

Salsa El Mariachi ti 29er… For Tazzy with the Salsa ti post, Moots ti stem, Seven ti headset spacers and Salsa ti bars.

*leaks a small sex wee!*

my ti effort: black sheep frame, with black sheep ti unicrown fork and 15mm bolt though with 29+ frontage, ti mountain tache bars (yes they are wiiiiide), ti niner cog and spacers, need a custum ti ring to play on the pauls cranks ….it needs a ti seat post and a hint of colour?

The Eriksen post with the pewter hardware looks cool.

^^ bloody lovely bike taz, leave it nekid it looks really neat.

However if I were to build one it would have to have the random colour and that mango would suit it really well…

hmmmmm have to see if goldtec can custom anodise some mango hubs for me 😀
