I'd love for Brad to build me a 650b/27.5 . Actually if I had the dough I'd make it a two-fer with his Full suspension design. That would be something - a Potts and two Eriksen/Binghams.

I have a Chance ti up in the rafters, need to bring down and give it a ride sometime.
Just can't get nerve to sell it, figure if my body totally goes I can always set this up as a hybrid.

I think Brad has the best welds in the biz. That would be quite a stable.

Brad usually has a pretty quick turn around once you hammer it all out. Did he quote a time frame? I have Brad welded Eriksens, btw. I would like to ask him to make a butted road, since he is kind of doing his own now. Kent was a non-butted builder.

Way to go. I will be following with interest as I love my Cielo MTB so much I have thought about getting a copy in Ti. Might as well put a ring on it. Only complaint has been weight and durability of the paint, both of which ti would address.

So you're saying my 1999 rockshox judy may have some value on the secondary market?

Yeah Matt, I may PM you in the future!!! I found an old SID here on the forum. Besides a scuff or two it's in great working order. Have done virtually nothing to it the last few years. Wheels and shock will be very difficult to find and will likely force me to go to larger wheels down the road. My wallet and wife hope that's not for a while. Me too, as I love my Rigor!

I have a Ti Honzo and love it. It definitely takes a bit of the edge off trail chatter. If I had to pick a builder, it would be Bingham - his craftsmanship just seems a bit above anyone else. One day I'd love to have one. You'll have to finish it off with some ti eewings - I splurged this spring and the ti on ti looks awesome

Joosttx I’m curious why you’re not going with 44 Bikes on this build? Your steel HT is sweet and now that 44 is doing Ti it would seem just go that way since your measurements etc are already there. Are you looking for another philosophy on geo or is it that you want to go with a builder that specializes in Ti? I’m curious because I have been thinking of a 44 HT in steel, but this conversation about Ti vs steel is interesting and I look forward to your comments in the future regarding your two bikes.

The folks I’m working with sell Built. Therefore, I’m buying a Built. I think I’ll be ok. Probably be selling my 44 bc I have no
space. Although I know I’m going to regret it. if you are interested in mine. PM me. I highly recommend 44
