Sturdy Cycles Road and Gravel

Just pure bike porn! Can't wait to get my three Sturdy's! Because one is never enough

I notice it says you have a Carbon / Titanium Sturdy incoming. I didn't know Tom now offered that, is it a bit like the Seven and Firefly Ti / Carbon frames?

Wow! 7,07kg for a titanium discbrake bike. What is the weight of the frame alone?

I didn't weigh it before I built it up but the 3D printed junctions allow Tom to make them much lighter than conventional Titanium frames.

Nothing like that... I'd give Tom a call if I was you

I've posted a few bits in the Titanium thread but feel I shouldn't really clog up that thread anymore!

It rides lovely, however, due to one reason and another I've not ridden it nearly as much as I'd have liked over the summer. The brief to Tom was to combine my old Canyon Endurace with my old Scott Addict and he seems to have nailed it. It is, without doubt, the most responsive titanium bike I've ridden and has pin-sharp handling. It also has that magical titanium quality.

As per official manufacturer weights that is sans pedals but it does include the cages.

In the latest marginal gains podcast with bastion's James woolcock he mentions printing parts for sturdy cycles. Bastion put out some amazing work so I'm excited to see something similar this side of the globe.

@saffronspokes: Lovely bike! I know Tom and really like the direction he has gone in. What are the biggest tires you can run and how long are your chain stays?

A small suggestion to clean up the di2 wire up front: you can fit the right size shrink tube over di2 + brake hose. It just fits without shrinking and makes for a very clean finish.

Tom is such a great guy! I can run 32mm tyres (just) and the chainstays are 408mm I think

The Di2 routing has indeed been neatened up by shrink tubing

Verity - Sturdy Ti/Carbon Aero (incoming)

A custom Ti road bike is crazy! Do you have an idea of what it's going to look like? I'm jealous, Sturdy seems like a really innovative builder.

I do but until it's announced publicly by Tom it's not my place to share.. I'd contact him as he would I'm sure love to show you
