Looks superb with the Mavics on it! Shame you can't keep them (and an even bigger shame I can't buy them from you for my Supersix!!!)

I'm still waiting for a picture of the bike with the Mavics and some gumwalls. :popcorn:

My favorite bike posted on this forum (been a member/lurker for about 4 years, and rarely missed a bike).

Suggested improvements:
- Integrated front brake.
- Fully integrated headset.
- SRAM wireless drivetrain.
- 40mm rake fork (that looks like 43mm).

Enjoy, you did an amazing job!

Posted earlier. 1399g I think but I'm not sure what that included.

Cranks: Used older 104mm spindle to reduce Q-factor and a few grams
FD: Alloy/Ti bolts
Shifters: DA 9000 Ti shifter clamps
Cassette: took off elastomers and inner alloy sleeve
Stem: Ti bolts
BB: cut off inner sleeve

I think thats about it?

Pretty easy, if you understand bikes well then they're easy to work with. Most of WW can easily deal with them.

Great.

Sorry for interrupting your thread but I am looking for a custom ti welder for a new project and most European Companies a quite stubborn when it comes to full custom.

I'll write to Waltly.
