WTB Monocoque titanium frame?

[jupiter]

Way back I'm sure I remember reading in a British(?) mtb magazine, (can' t remember which one), a review of a monocoque style titanium frame, which I'm pretty sure was built by WTB. I do remember them loving the bike, I presume it was a one off, but I wonder what ever happened to it?
It kind of looked like a Trimble/S-bike , anyone else remember it, or have I completely lost it.

Didn't some of them have ti swing arms?

WTB frame

Technically speaking, it is a SEMI-MONOCOQUE frame, as it has tubes and a built-up monocoque mainframe--ala Jaguar XKE!

apologies for dragging an old thread up....


...but I saw 2 Bon Tempe's @ Dalby forest about a month ago!

One had the Ti swingarm, the other the Alloy swingarm.

Got chatting to the guys & asked if they knew of Retrobike (they didn't!)

I think those 2 I saw might be the only ones in the country, or so the riders thought.
