Looking to buy a titanium gravel bike

[Hilltopperny]

I have owned a bunch of gravel bikes over the years now. The only lifetime warranty AFAIK is Lynskey. I know No22 was 10 years when I bought mine back on 2017. The crew is great over at No22 and the bikes are as nice as anything else I have owned!

My Drifter was the bike I had for 3 full seasons before parting ways with it. All the rest lasted around 5-6 months. Highly recommend a No22 to anybody who is in the market! That being said my Lynskey Urbano was a great bike as well. The finish on the No22 was a step above the Lynskey and being built 15 minutes from my home also gave them an edge over all the others. They are at the very least worth chatting with!

Check out this guy in Alabama. I spoke to him a few times and he seems like a great guy and knows his stuff. His lead times are pretty decent also.
Email him and exchange phone #s and go from there.
3Kish for a custom Ti is pretty reasonable IMHO.

You should also seek out Jim Kish (Kish Fabrications) - wonderful welder who taught many of today’s current welders at the United Bicycle Institute.

Easy to work with and good prices, too. If you do a search on this forum, there are a number of folks who have Kish bikes.

You are not to go wrong with a Built. I own two because I think they are the best titanium bikes made. The process is expeditious and easy. There are other builders but I never heard of a Built owner being disappointed with their bike or the process. I think Brad consistently does a great job.

Agree.

Going to the Philly show is a great idea for someone looking to decide on a builder. Good opportunity to walk around and see what might catch your eye or have a chat with a potential builder.
