Rocky Mountain Titanium Part 2, 3, or maybe 4?

[RockiMtn]

RM Titanium #2 (17" vs existing 18.5"), or technically you can call it #3 as i had two other 17" Titanium frames in the past, or #4 if you count as a total i've owned. decided to mount some NOS parts to it, XT headset, Tange Strut fork (glad it never sold) with steerer length that JUST fits, and a really nice unknown "Canadian" style stem that has paint that PERFECTLY matches the fork. given the XT headset, i'm thinking of building up with XT 7spd, though it did come with mostly XTR m900… decisions, decisions. perf black flite and 1st gen Syncros post will stay as well. also test fitted the wheelset off the Nimbus after quick clean.

very nice

Black xt would look good on this, but you could pretty much hang anything off this and it would still look good

Looking forward to seeing this built, might even motivate me a bit

Re:

Give us a detailed ride review too please. Always like the geometry of these, which looked to give plenty of standover height and increased stiffness, always an issue with most of the early ti frames.

Love it! Black XT to suit it very well. Sending PM Frank.

Excited to see how this one turns out! Your 18.5" build was a stunner!

Re:

any suggestions/recommendations or even offerings for handlebar and cranks? i'm thinking black, but i've overdone Syncros and was thinking maybe something different would be a fresh idea.

what do ppl think of the steel True Temper handlebars or Tioga Tange Prestige ones?

maybe some black XT 7spd cranks, or Race Face, though i kind of overplayed those as well on other builds.
