Retro neo titanio

[stran11]

Good evening,

I present a recently completed build of a Bianchi Ti Megatube size 53, now electronic. I switched out the original Bianchi carbon fork for a Look HSC as I liked the appearance of a straight fork over a curved one (the Look fork was also lighter). Aesthetically, I wish there were less spacers - my aging, less flexible spine won't allow it. The other issue is I think a seatpost with offset would look nicer.

Otherwise, it rides smooth like butter. The titanium coupled with the new Novus Boost saddle is very comfortable for long rides. However, it is slightly less snappy than today's carbon frames.

The final weight is hardly weight weenie worthy, but not bad. I think I can get it down to 6.8 kg.

Thanks for looking,
ST

That's a great looking build. I've had my eye on eBay for a while for a similar frame.
It's a well thought out setup, and those forks suit it very nicely.

Really digging this build! Great frame with great components.
Should not be too hard getting it to 6.8!
