Indy Fab Ti Crown Jewel vs Moots Vamoots

[XXtwindad]

The chance of me buying another bike is almost zilch. Almost. I keep seeing these two bikes listed on eBay. Probably the most popular Ti production frames out there. (NOT the “SL” Vamoots) Has anyone owned both and is able to make a comparison?

I gotta be honest. I’ve always been a little infatuated with the Crown Jewel. Maybe it’s that cool earthy grey metallic color or the relatively skinny tubing. Or maybe it’s the unmistakable “Indy Fab” font. (I think they’ve got the best fonts in the biz) Whatever the case, the CJ just looks sleek and fast.

Anyone have feedback that’s owned (or ridden) both? Totally distinct? Similar?

I have not rode either, but I prefer the look of the Crown Jewel! They look great!

You're reading my mind. I have a Moots RSL but (we) went with a Crown Jewel Ti for a new build for my wife. A tough debate but something about custom sizing as standard and paint options swayed us in that direction. Hopeful on the ride
