I wanted something to ride around on whilst I change a few things on my Dekerf, having the forks painted etc

So what we have here is a Rapid titanium frame made by this handsome lot

I do not know really...I think they quote $750 in the text. I suspect they make frames for a few people who re-badge and add an extra 100%
