Calling out all Ti Bikes..

[12snap]

I bought this frame and fork at Veloswap a few weeks ago. Got the wheels from the forum and the rest is a parts bin build. Will clean up the cables once I settle on a fit. This thing is amazing. It feels like it was made for me.

Jeff pal, if there's an award for someone who is able to consistently copy their positions over to another bike without fail every time , you will get my vote. You are able to do it so well that it's almost lost in me which new brand bike you are getting, all I see was that familiar template that is patently yours.

Thanks. A Fondo actually.

Cheers and enjoy the miles!

Thanks. Comparisons to the C60 will probably be awhile. I haven't been on the bike a lot in the last month and just moved - so I'm not able to compare things on certain benchmark roads.

Crankset is sram red that I sanded.

How is it different (more what you were looking for) than the Lynskey R350?

Thanks. I didn't care much for the 27.2 seatpost on the Lynskey and prefer a BB/PF30. Also, this frame is over 300g lighter. To be honest, looking at both frames and comparing the quality of construction - there isn't much between them. The LS is a more complex design but the execution between the two seems equal.

I got my first ride on this thing today and it is immediately more lively than the Lynskey (which is definitely not a turd). It's also definitely not as compliant as the Lynskey. That frame felt like most of the performance of most carbon bikes I've owned with a significant advantage in comfort. The comfort advantage of the LS is less.

Interesting... what were the frame weights? Neat to hear about the differences.

Is that because the LS is a T2 and stiffer, so a T3 or T5 may be more compliant and or comfortable ?

[Imaking20]

Any answer I gave on T2 vs T3 or T5 would be a total guess. I've ridden the T2 for 20 miles and no experience with the other two frames. I wouldn't expect much difference in comfort on the rear of the bike compared to the T3 - I believe the only differences are the top tube and the BB shell. T5 is different geometry and tubeset.

This is not to say the bike is uncomfortable. The general ride is still very much devoid of the buzz you get with carbon - I just smacked a few cracks that made me take notice today (one also knocked my bars down). And I tweaked my back doing deadlifts this week - so it's not unlikely that I'm a little overly sensitive about the rear of the bike right now.

Lynskey frame is 1540g and T2 is 1238g.

Some more pictures of ti anodizing.

We did a full frame in gold ano. The seatpost, UGH!

I really like the part paint/part titanium frame. I think those are really nice. And a bit challenging. So many options VS just paint or just bare ti. Love this one cause I really like orange. Think the orange/blue combo is excellent!
