Mystery Titanium - Red October ?!

[bduc61]

Well most probably a russian or tchek made frame

so I ll call it Red October for the lack of a better name

nothing surprising for a ti
CK Headset
M950 mechs and brakes
M952 Combo
Crossmax Ceramic
Race Face Turbine with TA rings
Semi riser Sunn
Rock Shox SID with Poplock
my definitely preferred seatpost

and finally a change between the puzzle and the build, the fork pivot is too short for my black syncros - so lovely flater silver stem I had in my spare parts
look a lot like a FRM bit not sure about it

actually looking for a similarly shaped black one (possibly FRM 90 or 100 mm 5° or 10°) to replace that silvery one if you have that - would be interested :idea:

trial run tomorrow if the weather allows !

yes enough of these blingy coloured flashy bikes :idea:

lets promote the stealthy look again !

I "hate" coloured ano - its too expensive for my purse :roll:

as I told you, looks very similar to these I owned in the last 90'
nice build but I prefer the syncros stem

 

[coomber]

That looks really beefy (even with Sids). Think its the stealth look.

Cool bike.

With auto pedals, lock on grips , tubes non particularly light and python tyres comes at 10.74 kg

is that light or not :?

frame actually is 1.54 kg

was expecting something below 10.5 :roll:

 

[kikideparis]

it's a correct weight for this kind of frame...

Build

Lovely understated build, good effort, XTR brakes are on the heavy side, whats the BB in there also?

The bike looks like a Team Marin Ti made by Litespeed. The Ti finish has a strong hit of either Team Marin or Moots and rear dropouts look identical to my Litespeed Pisgah. Whatever it is, she is a beauty.
