Been working on this project for over a year. I wanted a titanium all road bike and I wanted to incorporate my machine doodles.
I'm still figuring out the pedals I want, but it's otherwise ready for the road.
Some details :
- Waltly Ti frame – I attempted something in between the Fairlight Strael and Secan geometry.
- My doodle work on the frame using Posca pens. White primer and final gloss finish was made by a great local bike painter, Insayne Kustomz
- Shimano 105 R7100 12s Mechanical Groupset
- Mavic Ksyrium 30 Disc Wheels
- Michelin Pro 5 Tubeless 700C x 35 tires
- Finished with a Brooks C15 and Lizard Skin bartape
I'm still trying to decide on the pedals
The spacer stack is high but I realised after the cut that you can't clamp the stem lower on the steerer when it's carbon. I'll get a feel for it this year and see if I cut it next winter or not.
It's been a blast to make this bike materialize out of nothing but a vision. It going to be difficult not to do it again (when my bank account recovers).
Would love people's thoughts
