Fat Ti finally updated

[Elev12k]

The brakes look kinda like this Crystal Designs ....but not quite >>>

I would think they are Joe's

Radial lacing with CNC'ed hubs: Not a rider I suppose?

 

[kid1313]

are those hubs Heylights ?

Yes these are Heylights

great bike, amazing parts :shock:

I guess here we have a future B.O.T.M

Many thanks to all of you guys
I thought you may like it, but it seems that you like it almost as much as I do

That is correct sir!

Not with this one, not yet, when I decide probably will change lacing

Sweet bike... Especially the cranks!! Wish I had a set of those. :shock:

Could you maybe give us a complete spec on this beauty?

 

[Neil G]

Not a big fan of Ano on Ti bikes...always think they look better in a more stealthy mode.

Still, rare bike....your lucky owning it

Cracking build

Seeing your Sweet Wings with a hint of purple has convinced me to go the same route with mine on Project Unicorn.

Still impresses me... :shock: :shock:

Somebody wrote about the lacing of the wheels. I used to ride on 28h Tune hubs, with the same patern as yours and never had a problem. I'm not a light person (85kg) and it is OK for years. Though my riding style is light-footed, maybe that's the secret.. .Oh SH#T, now you know one of the secrets
I don't think it would be a problem riding it, but can imagine that you're afraid of 'hurting' the hubs...

..and those cranks... beautiful...awsome... My English is lacking massively in words to come up... :?

Keep up the good work and show us the end result when you're satisfied. Though, a nice pic of the pogress would be nice also ofcourse.

Oh..yeah, by the way. It took me also several years to collect the parts for my retro too. I think that's at least half of the fun of building a nice bike..

love the frame and sweet wings. Lots of ano on a titanium frame is a temptation from which one should flee....as difficult as it may be

cool bike

Oh yes, a lot of time it takes. I wanted to enter BOTM with my fat, but already I know it won't happen. Still no saddle and pedals


ps. I've just seen your beauty
It's lovely. I always wanted to go white/green, I even own a lot of green stuff (bolts, hangers etc. etc)
Paul in green mmmm delicious
