That's essentially what the Epopea is. It's a beautiful frame. And of course made by the Master himself.

Made using a custom Reynolds double-butted tubeset and exquisitely tig welded, Doriano has created a do-it-all road frame. With custom oversized chainstays, offering the Pathos frame can handle a 700x28c tire easily. Custom 6/4 CNC machined dropouts continue to add stiffness and strength in its design. A 6/4 headtube, bottom bracket and small fitting are standard.

The Pathos is available in two toptube styles: traditional and sloping. With stock and custom geometry available. The Pathos uses a Chis King D11 headset as standard. With its longer head cup flanges for better rigidity. Yes, you can use a different headset. But with the color options and a lifetime warranty, would you want to?

The stock fork for the Prima is the Pegoretti FALZ. Designed by Dario Pegoretti and made exclusively for them, the FALZ has the looks of a classic steel crown with the lightweight and amazing ride and responsiveness of carbon.

Available in stock and custom geometry as well as stock and custom finishes, the Bixxis Pathos is a riders dream. Retail for the Pathos is $4750. This includes custom geometry and finishes within reason of course. Lead time is about 12 weeks currently. It will include a headset, seat collar, cable adjusters and a PMP Titanium seatpost.

We will have the Pathos in Booth 318 at NAHBS in August. Make sure to stop by to check it out and meet Doriano and Martina De Rosa.

It's a custom titanium stem we offer in whatever finish is requested. For this Pathos, he wanted a brushed finish to match the seatpost and frame. It's a Grade 5 titanium(6/4) stem, comes in whatever length and angle you'd like.

Another shot of the BiXXis Pathos bound for Kentucky. You can see the details better.

PM sent.

This custom Pathos is packed up and heading out to its new home this week. It's a custom 55cm ETT and weighs 1350 grams with the seat collar.

That is a sweet looking clean frame. Nice.

Looks like Doriano and Martina and doing well.

It is and they are! Everyone is safe over there and they are getting caught up on orders. This frame was only delayed by 4 weeks due to the shutdown. Which is pretty amazing. Some places are many months behind.

Everything in that bike exudes class. Must resist "FOMO." One minor quibble: I'd go with black handlebar tape/saddle. Matches the sleek "go fast" ethos of the bike. But that's just me.

For this bike with the tan tires and custom saddle, the matching bar tape looks excellent but I understand what you mean. The one I just posted, that one is getting a Campagnolo Super Record mechanical kit with black tape, saddle and tires. He's going to send me pictures after it's finished. His original bike was a Jaegher stainless frame and he was hit by a car. So we made him this, his first titanium frame ever. I'm looking forward to his ride report on it.

Is Bixxis building all road and gravel in titanium, or only the Pathos 'pure' road?

The Pathos(ti) and Prima(steel) frames are rim brake road bikes only. The Fronda(steel) is flat mount disc gravel. I can't comment on if a titanium gravel frame will be available In the future. ;-)
