1994 DEAN Titanium

[Double-E F]

Finally...!

Got round finishing version 1.0 of my 1994 Dean Ti with the M737 cassette I got from Ollytron .
And I was even able to take my titanium beauty out for a spin (in light rain).
As I'm waiting for nicer weather to take quality pics, I just took my mobile phone, so here's a (low-res) impression:

That's one of my dream bikes right there - I'm very jealous..

Me too. Fantastic build.

I think the Pace forks look great, good choice. The Ti seatpost will finish it off very well.

Love it, well done.

[stumpjumper1990]

Very nice, very clean!

 

[kaos]

Classy frame!

The rusty crank bolts and those Specialized Cranks looks horrible. Sorry

 

[Elev12k]

Very nice Dean

I always liked the DEAN graphics. They add some colour to the Ti.

Manitou: Didn't you try using a steerer from another brand?

Thanks for your comments .

This bike rides extremely well (at least the on road miles I've done so far): light 'n' smooth, not a sound (only of the freewheel when not pedaling but looking at the bike while passing large shopping windows ...)

Went out again shortly today:

Wrt the Manitou steerer: I haven't been after a longer steerer since I kinda like the Pace forks .

kaos, my man, you're 100% right: I'm looking for a nice set of silver RF Turbines for this one, but I was just to eager to ride it and I had these cranks lying around...
