its a 2x - wheels are DT Swiss rims and King Hubs - I bought the frame new in 2009

Saratoga frameworks, probably one of my last rides before I sell this frame set. I will miss it but custom Ti was calling me...

Your Castellano is amazing! If I had extra $$ for a bike I didn't need, this would be the bike, for sure.

This is one of my new ones. I can't ride it, but I can still look at it and enjoy it. And since there were only 20 made worldwide, nice wall art. I sooooo want to ride it. It's killing me. But I have it for shows at least and it won't get damaged while riding. So that's a plus!

A quick note and question...And I am not trying to be critical, it's a safety thing.

For everyone who has spacers under their stem, 35 to 40mm is the maximum normally allowed by the fork manufacturers. So of the bikes look like there are more that that.
Be super careful. Especially with titanium stems on there. Cause they usually have a sharper or more squared off stem clamp and you could possibly have a problem-stem digging into fork steerer.

Enve forks are 40mm max.
Some are 35mm max.

Just make sure you guys are being safe. Especially with ti spacers and stems.

That is an enigma, and beautiful!

This my personal one.
Full custom geometry. It had many a photo taken of it at the show. It was featured 3 times by GCN alone, was on Handbuilt Buyers Guide and many others and will be on PEZ soon. Wise I could ride it :sad:

You can get one. They have 8 left I believe. It's only a mere $17k.
Full custom geometry.
All of the Campy carbon components are blue clear coated and same with the Enve rims. Everything else is painted in the same matching blue.

That blue bike is ti! I'd like to see some up closer photos of the stays meeting the drop outs -I would bet a good amount of that price could be the custom paint and added finishes, while I'm personally all about bare ti, it is stunningly done!

Here is a close up of the non-drive side chainstay/dropout area.

The frame is blue over ti. So all that silver pin striping you see, that's all the ti finish under it. Tons of time to mask off the frame and components. To mask off and scuff and reclear everything in the blue clearcoat. Lots and lots of time goes into this frame. Which is one reason why the cost is up there. But it's a full Super Record kit, PRO carbon bar/stem. Enve post and wheelset with Chris King hubs, a custom leathered and embroidered Selle Italia saddle and Chris King headset. Add into it the cost to mask off the wheels and a fully custom 6/4, 3/2.5 ti frame, the price gets up there easy.

I had the toptube, seattube, chainstays, headtube, toptube angle, seat and head angles all customed. I also switched out all the silver steel bolts to either titanium or black chromed. It looks better.
