NO anodized bling. It´s about pure performance. Imo titanium bikes beg to be built w/ silver, black and shimano workhorse groups.
Interesting fastening bolts for the M900 brake calipers, are these an aftermarket Ti option?
Not sure exactly where the ti brake bolts came from, they came on a Merlin I had a while back. Ideal for this build.Very nice indeed! Nothing I'd change. Nice to see an Alpes Flite (as a Flite fanatic) they have unique look I really like. Interesting fastening bolts for the M900 brake calipers, are these an aftermarket Ti option?
Thanks so much, very kind words. Interestingly I tried it with tanwalls, somehow the blackwall tyres just worked so much better. And I’m usually a tanwall guy.Perfect Tom!
I love this bike so much.
The blue hits on just the forks and decals are just perfect.
A lot of people would have thrown blue ano at it, and ruined it. IMHO.
You've completely nailed it this one, I think.
Be better with skinwalls, of course!
PS. I want to ride it so badly, so do let us know how it is...
Thanks very much, that’s really nice to hear,That is amazing. Love your take on bikes: No holds barred.
Cheers v much sir.Stunning build . Its beauty is in its simplicity. Something than be hard to deliver upon... I think you nailed it. Very envious.

Good spot. It’s a baby type 35, go kart basically. Or technically a copy of a type 52. My dad used to make them.Tell my that's a Type 35!
Always love your stuff. Most excellent.
