Socially distanced collection sorted for this Sunday!

A few teaser snaps below...Weight is 7.35kg as pictured which is pretty darn good considering it wasn't built with weight in mind and the cages are 50g each!
What a stunner! Could you post a shot from the NDS? And also a close-up shot of the BB area. I'd like to see the BB shell to chainstay junctions. It appears that the entire BB shell area is 3D printed just like the headtube. I see the chainstays are curved at the BB junction. Maybe that's for increased tire clearance. Clever idea. Lastly is that a Campy C11 chain with a Shimano quick link? Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me, haha. Enjoy the ride!

Throwing in my lot, I went with ti mainly for aesthetics, ride quality, and durability. Coming from race geometry bikes and having odd proportions, I also liked the option to do custom geometry. I've found it's plenty stiff still and while marginally heavier you don't feel it except on the steepest of grades. It's not as stiff as carbon race bikes but has a springy reactive feeling that still feels great under power and adds comfort over long rides
I like your Matte Bourbon bits. Very tasteful.

I've just taken the plunge on a custom Titanium bike by Sturdy Cycles in the UK. Lots of 3D printed goodness. Can't wait until the end of March now...
Do they have a lifetime warranty and/or crash replacement policy? I can't find anything on their website..
Full lifetime warranty on the Frame. It was something I checked before ordering.
Tom is 3D printing a Ti stem combo for my Moots. Lattice mesh construction for lightweight with integrated Chris King top bearing cap.
