My first post!
I always wanted a Moots after riding nothing but steel Serotta CSIs. That came true in 2015 when I found this frameset. I’ve gone through two build phases:
V1: Raw Ti + black decals
I transitioned most of the parts from my Serotta onto this build. Removed the old white decals and applied new decals ordered from Moots. The original fork was cut too short, so I bought a used ENVE fork. I really hate the large ENVE logo so I had a custom decal made to cover it up.
V2: Honda Championship White + raw Ti
Ever since riding an eTap equipped bike in Italy I really wanted to do the same for this bike. Seeing some inspirational older bike builds who fully committed and had the cable guides removed with etap sealed the deal.
I shipped my frame to TiCycles in PDX, who removed the cable guides and it was handed over next door at Black Magic Paint to get re-media blasted and a coat of Honda’s Champ White. Yes, I’m a huge Honda Fanboy. I couldn’t be happier with the final product and would recommend BMP’s services.
I fully committed to an all Moots cockpit with 2nd hand stem and seatpost I also had re-media blasted and splurged a set of Cane Creek eeWings.
Since finishing the build, I’ve done a week long ride with Cycle Oregon and completed a 7 day, 450 mile ride around the entire Bay Area. I love this bike!
