Zanc's Ti welding

[DRZRM]

Mike just posted this to his FaceBook. Not terribly surprising, but his welds are looking awfully smooth. Nice to have more TI options as of this summer. #titanato #zanconato

Saw that too and was equally impressed - but Mike's queue is already quite long - offering more models is only going to increase the stampede - maybe he's looking into cloning?

Nothing wrong with having too much business though - and couldn't happen to a nicer, more deserving guy...

WOW! I've lusted after his steel and Al bikes for years. Now Ti too. I won't be able to hold out much longer...

Beautiful!! I think one of my favorite elements of his rides are his logo. Excited to see how this gets integrated into the Ti.

"Titanato", i like that.

I should be reaching the top of his to-do list in time for Xmas this year. Now I'm wondering if I have to re-think what I was going to get him to do.

Really nice and NOT saying the welds and frame aren’t top notch but a look at the welds right after the welder turns off the equipment is more important. I’ve seen beautiful welds surrounded by a veritable rainbow of colors...that says maybe the tubes were overheated or some O2 contamination. NOT saying anything about Zanc but pretty Ti welds are like 20% of the equation.

more excited than a schoolboy on Prom night!

Can't wait Mike!

Excellent..as I mentioned, not a comment on Zanc.

A different manufacturer...

Boy, a guy cant even have a side project without the paceline peanut gallery.

I've followed Zank from his early days. His attention to detail and knowledge base is incredible. Doesn't hurt that he's a super cool/nice guy to chat/deal with. Seeing him branch out into Al and Ti has been a pleasure!

From god's hands.

Would be super cool to have a ti Zank not unlike one of these machines, including a steel fork with proper rake would be sublime.
