Custom geo made by Waltly. Very happy with the result. 7.6kg without the frame pump and lights.
This one is truly one of the most beautiful I've seen. Mind if I ask in what price bracket can such a frame be?

What chainring are you using with the eKar? I didn't realise there are aftermarket ones that are compatible...?

@Confusedrob With Shamals it's right around 8kg but should lose ~250g once I switch back to my Industry 9 35TL set. I'm also getting a 00 Adaptive saddle and looking at lighter sideclamp seatposts to save a bit more

@spdntrxi Top tube slope is 5 degrees. 1x13 is great for my road preferences, running 44x9-36t (9-10-11-12-13-14-16-18-20-23-27-31-36) with 44x9 ~ 54x11 / 44x36 = 39x32

@robertbb Running a 44t Wolftooth chainring; it needed some of the wide teeth filed for the chain to fit properly but so far no issues

LS Archon circa 5.5kg with clinchers (as light as 4.95 with AX tubs, Orion brakes but since changed for practicality reason)

Looks nice, I have one currently on order as well... What is the tyre clearance of yours, the chainstays look to offer more space than my frame. Also do the parts come from your carbon gravel bike? If yes, why the change?

Nice! I asked for 2.3" clearance, the fork is from Speeder Cycling.

No, most parts actually comes from my crashed Canyon Ultimate, and then a mix of stuff I had at home :)

My Vamoots RCS. First Ti bike and absolutely impressed. I’ve been fortunate to have owned some top carbon over the years and I have not been disappointed at all by the RCS. But I guess all you who have been riding titanium for years have long known how good Ti is Image at some point I might try tan or cream walls + Ti cages just to give it a classic nod but happy with the black surrounding the gold ano for now.

Hello
Few pictures of a Spectrum 2008 frame I bought few weeks ago.
Model Titanium Super
What I did on the frame
- remove clearcoat
- add new stickers
- reduce headtube lenght (2cm) because it was to long for me

Next steps: received few parts (enve fork, Firefly titanium collar...); and I build the frame

Other pictures soon

Was it a Freuler-style frame initially?
