Identify Titanium (maybe) bike

You got to go for varied voltage ti anodising commonly called ti-dye:

Some people do this themselves - I think you principally need a variable voltage dc power source 50-250v??

Thanks for the advice.
However, I am thinking of removing the most damaged stickers and manually sanding the frame to eliminate scratches and stains.

It’ll take less than a hour and will look like new. Just use a grey scotchpad

Nice find. Would be curious to see the serial number - Sandvik typically stamped the frame size too under the bottom bracket.

The parts on it are a bit of mish-mash but nothing wrong with the XT M750/1 and LX M570.

For the parts I am thinking to purchase a whole old bike like this and take off what i need.

The seat tube is 44cm (17'").
I've found an old Scott bike with full '93 Shimano XT goupset. So i'm thinking to purchase It and use the parts fornthe Kastle frame.

Hi everyone.
in recent days I have dismantled all the pieces from the frame and started removing only the most damaged stickers.
finally I did a cleaning test to remove the surface stains.

I agree for a Sandvik made titanium : dropouts looks like first production of Kona and Mc Mahon

drop outs are very similar to the ones on my
sandvik built ti toad.
