When I realized it’s Ti 🤯
What’s with the fork?
Skills.
Vertical QR dropouts?
“Nah bruh, i made my own Thru axle dropouts.”
Respect
I’ll admit I had my doubts but the second pic shut me up real good
Cool~ 기가맥힙니다!
The clock on the stem is a nice touch.
There is even a word for those cool people in Korean. Titanium MTB Halabeoji. Which just means titanium MTB uncles. Some say they did outpace the roadies on a MTB, others say they are just obsessed with their TI bike. Both are cool i guess.
a hand assembled cassette is unhinged, like that man looked at a perfectly good cogset and said nah ill do it myself
The through axel is connected to the rest of the bike with a DIY welded tab? My fat lard-but would break that in on hop off a curb.
