You know what's funny. The day before I almost pulled the trigger on a lynskey Cooper cx frame (no fork) at $800 on eBay. Decided not to at the last minute. This is a much better deal.

I’m sure the Lynskey is a great bike, but a complete titanium bike for under 1k is a much better deal indeed. Especially set up with Sram 1x hydro. How are you liking the 1x setup?

Haven't ridden it long enough or get it on a long gravel ride to formulate any meaningful opinions yet but I am thinking for the long term, especially if I am going to use it for multi day touring or do a ride like the Continental Divide, I would change it to a double or possibly even a triple.

I hear you! 1x seems to have limitations on the road is what I’ve found out thus far, but I really like it for off road applications.

Very nice looking setup. Looks like a lot of fun and a well thought out bike!

Reynolds ATR. I have a set in 700c and picked up this set in 650b. Great wheelset for allroad/adventure/gravel bikes!

Great deal indeed! I purchased my 650b set for the same price and couldn’t find a mark on them. I believe they don’t come with the wheel bags so they are half price!

Is it just me, or does anyone else wonder if Hilltopperny owns more titanium tubing than most superpowers?
