are you asking about aesthetics or more about the spec? If the later, I'd love to see both posted here. If the former, it's really a toss up for me and I'd go for the better geo (that's a decision only you can answer).

In the looks department, I prefer the Blackheart.
In the way the tubes are shaped, I feel the Bossi is going to be STIFFFFFFF! |

If you want a "chopper" the Blackheart, want a bicycle the Bossi. There really is no comparison besides they both have round wheels.

Interesting choice of phrase given the sloping TT and dropped seat stays. I don't think those adjectives apply to either (I realize you qualified them).
It's a wash for me, like Pam; they look more similar than different to my eye. I bet they ride nice, though. |

Any additional details on the walty? An aero ti frameset sounds kinda rad

I do not believe Walty had anything to do with the building of the Bossi Strada SS framsets, besides the fact that Walty also makes frames out of Ti. Look at the details very different construction, is Walty doing any 3D additive printing?

Isn’t the Bossi 2x the cost?
I don’t understand why someone would buy an blackheart frame instead of a US-made Litespeed or Lynsky for potentially less money…a more stealthy logo? |

And I only asked for the design, I plan to order a frame in the Blackheart design from Waltly. |

Curious where is this image comming from, I see nothing on there web site that looks like this nor do I see any marketing news about 3D printing?

So not too disappointed honestly. Has anyone contacted Waltly and successfully received this frame? I emailed but never got a response, this was a couple years ago when I was looking into these pseudo-aero titanium frames. PS: I thought it was common knowledge many titanium frames come from China. There’s a couple of interesting 3d printed frames coming out as well Last edited by Shane4XC; 05-17-2024 at 10:04 AM. |

This photo was sent to me by Sumi, Waltley's manager. There is also a photo of the finished bike, but I won’t post it here. You can also find Sumi on Instagram, she periodically posts photos there.

Yup, this boggles my mind as well. US based companies taking a Ti bike made in China (probably costs in the hundreds in bulk) and selling them for $3200. Yikes!
I would rather get a Litespeed. Or pay a few hundred more to get an Alliance, Dean, DeSalvo. |

Which is why I’m slightly interested in the 3d printed titanium bikes coming out of china, just announced at that Chinese bike expo. |
