I'm normally not a fan of painting ti, but yours works! I think I saw pics of that on Mike's FB page.

How wide of a tire can you run in the rear? Great looking bike.
Thanks, Gary

Thanks. Haven't verified max widths, I suspect the Enve fork will be the limiting factor. I am planning to get the larger MSO X'plor 40mm tubeless when they are available, they'll fit easily. I *think* I can go up to 45's....

What length are your chainstays? Is there any dimples or crimping in them? On my ti, I just fit compass 44 slicks, but I took them off because it was too tight for my liking.
