Hi,

There is a dean titanium frame on eBay at the moment.
A 16" frame.
Can anyone tell me the year and whether it looks
Authentic and a bit of background dont really know much about 'dean' looks in good condition.
I'm looking for a Ti frame pref a kona hei hei but tempted by this.

Cheers

It seems to be Tiboltrider's frame

I believe the early Deans were made in the same factory as the ti Konas, by Sandvik. The cone stay ends, I think, would confirm this is a SAndvik frame.
The geometry might be slightly different to a Kona, or it might not...
At that price I'd take a punt.
Dean are still making ti frames in house, and bloody lovely they are too! Slightly overbuilt but the geometry is spot on!
Go on! You know you want to.

Here are a nice pair:

Pretty sure it's Tiboltrider's. It was stunning when it was made up & he's a top bloke to deal with as well.
