My crazy Titanium Bike

[Ganimed]

Hi again

Now I dare to show you my Ti bike.

Bought the frame in 1997 from a bike-shop here in Cologne. The frame was a slow seller. The shop had this frame hanging on the wall forever. I think the frame hung there for at least 3 or 4 years. It was originally supposed to cost 3700 marks. When it was reduced to just 900 marks only, I bought it in 1997 because I always wanted a nice and light (1620 grams) titanium frame.

These frames were identical to the Cycletech Genius Ti frames and Winora T-One Ti frames. The quality of the frame was great.

I only had two bikes back then and I really let off steam on the titanium bike in terms of the selection of parts and the constantly changing look. Fake decals from Fat and Merlin inclusive

But see for yourself...

Frame only...

Here with Accu Trax Prostop fork in Mad Max style

With Tioga Disk Wheel (first version)

Is there a circus in town? Litespeed titanium fork and Spinergy Roks XE wheels

With Litespeed Ti fork and CQP Titanium cranks

I sort of don’t understand it - but I sorta love it!

The perfect antidote to everyone that takes their builds too seriously around here. Me included.

I love the different look of this bike. A bit messy indeed, but it looks so racing. (even if not period correct for its time).

This is awesome. Amazing how different the "same" bike can be.

My favourite "Mad Max Accutrax non disc"

Yep accu-trax version looks bad-ass. Love the drillium on the chainrings in the later pics as well.
