Harry Havnoonian Vitesse. Ti lugs with carbon tubes. Seatpost and stem are also Ti. Very comfortable bike to ride.

One of the guys I ride with rides a Havnoonian. I first commented on the rear brakes...but that's his signature as I'm told.
Its pretty unsual, I've been told a few times by a snarky people on stock tarmacs that my brake was on backwards and needs to be turned around.

Internal cable routing on the downtube, tapered head tube, 31.6mm diameter seatpost and good old BSA threaded. Custom geo with a very short reach and top tube length. Columbus Futura carbon fork. 7.5kg-ish as it is with the pedals and Garmin mount.

2014 Campagnolo SR RD & shifters, Chorus FD and 12-25 cassette.
Campy 5 arm 50-34 165mm crank (record level ? As they had USB bearings).
Campagnolo non-series skeleton calipers.
KMC X11SL chain.
Kalloy UNO stem and handlebar combo.
Selle San Marco Aspide with Deda Superlegerro seatpost.
Bora One 50s clinchers topped off with GP5000S 23mm clinchers.

Love this frame - Can anyone identify it ???

Thanks
Hi Galatzo,

Its a one-off with custom geo from Titan Super Bond, a titanium frame maker based in China.

Moots Vamoots

Just joined this awesome group but been lurking behind the scenes for a long time. Started upgrading from 9 speed to 11 speed. The pandemic made me dust off the old Moots and started riding again. Forgot what a joy it is to ride again with the freedom you get being outside.

As it sit, 14.7 Pounds/6.6KG

Full SRAM RED mech
Easton EC90SL Fork
Canecreek EE Brakes (G4)
Zipp 303 clinchers
Michelin Comp tires
Ritchey stem and handle bar
China Carbon seatpost
Fizik Antares saddle
Speedplay Ti pedals
China knock off link cables
Moots is vintage since it has a 1" steer tube.

Zipp 303 are on the heavy side but does the job for being reliable.

Thinking of getting the Winspace Hyper but wanted them to address the spoke creaking befor purchasing.

A better look at the anodising. A blue polished fade. The pictures don't really do it justice. A really lovely finish from Adam at Reilly Cycleworks. They were fantastic to deal with.
Wow, that's pretty. Don't see many Anodized Ti bikes

Mine: 9,3 kgs Kinesis Ti Racelight v3. 4-season bike with fenders, lights (front light on a Go-Pro mount under the Edge support), a rear rack for the eventual light commute and afterwork ride.
Kinesis updated: wheels (Duke Roadrunner 30s, Hope RS4s, 20/28 CX-Rays), Dura Ace 7900 12-27 cassette, Sram Red 22 cranks, WheelsMFG angular contact bearings BB, full titanium Speedplays, Syntace P6 HiFlex seatpost, Cateye light on the rear rack. I just haven't changed the bars yet. Savings on the cassette, cranks and pedals just cover for the porky wheels : still 9,3 kgs :)

The Merlin Ti Road, the trusty steed - now fifteen years of service with me. After a few years in a modernized racing-centric guise with black components throughout it's back in an "all-raw" state with only brushed titanium, Campag satin aluminium and 3k carbon throughout (but I could not for the life of me get rid of the beautiful King headset that originally was black but after many years now is a rich plum colour). The ride is nothing short of sublime (in stark contrast to its replacement, a modern alloy rocket with deep sections).

Exquisite! I've considering the same thing for the ride above.

Its time consuming but not relatively easy to do. PM me if you want details.

Waltly TI, 51.5cm. 7.6kg as pictured

Sram Etap Red 11sp
Smud Saddle
Waltly TI Seatpost
EE Brakes Gen3
Jagwire Elite Cables
Profile Design DRV Aeroa-A Bars
Thomson 100 x 10 stem (to be swapped to 110 or 120 x 10 shortly)
Enve 1.0 Fork
King R45 Hubs
Altamont Ceramic 20/20
Praxis 52/36 + Zayante Cranks + M30 BB

Hadn't really paid too much attention to weight during the build process (the ringlé skewers on the NDS are a testamant to that fact), but only just sort of realized today that it was probably heavier than my previous bike (it was).

sweet bike, I'm going to order one from Waltly soon but still gathering info on geo and tubing sizing. What consideration behind you choosing to go with a straight 1-1/8 head tube/fork instead of a much more common tapered fork

My previous bike (and first titanium experience for me) : Fairdale Spaceship
Shifting and braking were Dura Ace 9000/9100 mix with exception of the Cannondale Hollowgram SISL crankset (frame is PF30).
Some Ritchey parts (superlogic seatpost and WCS C220 stem)
Zipp SL70 ergo carbon handlebar
Prologo Dimension NDR nack saddle and bartape.
Wheels from a dutch wheelbuilder : Wheel-Tec tailwind SLS 45/50mm with Erase hubs. Very good wheels actually. ENVE SES 25mm tubeless tyres, excellent too (but damn expensive !)
The weight was about 7,4kg as pictured below (the frame alone was 1600g size 58) :

Very kind and generous to offer advice, but I'm fairly experienced in polishing. I'll give it some thought!

and since it is dinged and dented from many years of (ab)use, it might not be quite as elegant as the Seven.

This is my No.22 Great Divide Disc. It was built up to just over 18lb with a Romin Evo.

Nice bike!

What was the weight of the frame ;-)?

Moots Vamoots 61.5 cm
16.3 lbs/7.4 kg as pictured
First Ti bike, and it lives up to the hype for sure. I was originally looking for a steel frame (ie Cinelli Vigorelli road), but had difficulty sourcing one in my size. Almost came home with several different lugged steel 1" headtube older frames, but ultimately decided to go over budget and build this Moots.
