Clark Kent F14 Titanium

Since I´m pretty new here some of my bikes are already built up. Did this this summer.

Clark Kent F14 Titanium serial 039. Would probably make it around 91.

The plan here was to do a non flashy looking classic mtb. Yes, the cnc is flashy, but you have to look for it. No ano and stuff like that. I wanted grey, silver and black.

Yes, it took me both time and money to get this together. ;) Lots of dealing and trading to get some of the parts.

I really like the understated nature of the build. So stylish (except I'm not so sure about the white cables). That Nitto stem is gorgeous and perfect for it.
 
Thanks guys. Yeah, people have a love/hate relationship to the white cables it seems. ;) I just wanted to add some level of contrast to the build. And I have a whole roll of it as well. Haha.
 
Re:

Nice job :D :cool: and welds are beautiful, as usual on Clark Kent…
I would say after 93/94 for the year, when titanium makers begun copying Merlin and their S bent stays ;)
