Calling out all Ti Bikes..

I had a Moots 56 Compact before this. This is a 55. The fit seems fine, stiffer for sure I'm assuming due to the oversized bb and head tube. A very nice ride and the Di2 is amazing.

I just tried out di2 for the first time a little over a month ago and like it a lot. Strongly considering a no22 drifter, but need to purge a bunch of bike stuff in order to justify it.

Nearly everything is made of titanium including the frame, fork, Passoni handlebars, Chris King headset, Morati cranks, chainring, chain, rear cog, spokes rims, seatpost, and saddle. Yup, the saddle is actually custom made in Italy completely of titanium. You gotta get a closer look at this…more shots below."

That is sick. Would love to have that fork, especially in a 1" threadless.

I posted this elsewhere here, but all Ti and carbon. This is one of the nicest bikes I have ever owned. Just amazing.

Moots Vamoots with polished logos...my latest and, besides a Firefly on order that won't be done until January, my last.

Lemond Victoire. Grossly misrepresented on e-Bay, it required a full rebuild from the bare frame using a donor bike for the components. Contains zero original bits, but nevertheless is partially "correct" since the donor was a Zurich. Also, it turned out to be a size smaller than expected, thus the absurd stack of headset spacers. Still, it is light, fast & lots of fun to ride. Hope to swap the frame for the correct size someday.

Guy on our Wed night shop ride is on one of these. Drool-worthy. I had a steel/carbon spine LeMond and loved the geometry and handling.

I've owned a lot of ti bikes over the past 2 decades. First one was Merlin Road and followed by Litespeed Ultimate. Others have been Serotta Legend, Ottrott and Concours CX, Seven Axiom, and Moots Compact. Currently have a Kish touring/gravel and this Moots PsychloX (for sale now) and Eriksen:

Looks to be my correct size, please let me know when it goes up for sale, you have a buyer, would love to own that frame!
