Yeah fuck it why not. That thing is cool as hell.
I mean yea sure I guess, long as you ride your bike and it makes you happy lmao
excuse me peak xbiking is posting it on xbiking
Mechanical drivetrains are xbiking.
The bike is beautiful.
Well, it does have the requisite tower of spacers.
Dawg, where are the basket and voile straps?
Fuck it, toes in the crank

That “doodley art” is fucking fantastic! It looks like Celtic knot work had a baby with the bio mec tattoo style. It’s beyond hot. Great job 🔥🔥🔥🔥
You painted a titanium frame! Blasphemy!
I’ve been where you are. It feels like x-biking, but the crowd might not love it, I sure do though. Nice work and fun paint.
Well this may be awkward, and I hate to be the one to tell ya OP, but I am absolutely in love with your bike. You had me at titanium but that design on the frame is just so damn cool.
I like it. Reminds me of the Sharpie Lamborghini Gallardo.

Convert to 1x, update to alt bars, add a remote triggered bell. Needs a Brooks saddle, matching bar tape and gum wall tires.
Nice try, tho.
/s… that custom artwork on a painted Ti frame is outrageous! Nice. Very sano color scheme. Needs just one red doodle somewhere, for flair. 👍🏼
>This is an adventure-biking sub dedicated to the vast world that exists between ultralight road racing and technical singletrack. All-road, . . . etc. are all fair game here.
I love the bike and don’t get why people here dislike it. The mech 105 “groupset of the people,” the handmade art, eye towards longevity, and capability of the bike perfectly fit with the sub. I’m sorry you didn’t post today’s 42nd 90s Rockhopper with a stock colorway and tan wall tires. Perhaps you should come back when you learn to follow our rules on being a proper hipster.
I hate to tell you, but I think that’s just a less eclectic version of [my bike](https://www.reddit.com/r/xbiking/s/zRMAlYRzKh) (and probably half the weight lol)
I didn’t know titanium could get some art like that… me thinks you’ve given me a spark of what to do to my T—Brompton.
Very nice all around, but really the art just stands out to me (reminds of something I did back in 2016 https://flic.kr/p/MAUGAc)
If it’s not raw ti it doesn’t count
The fact that it’s your art makes it cool af
Basically the opposite of everything cool about this subculture, in my opinion lol. Paying through the nose for gimmicky try hard builds instead of sending an old well-loved frame into a new lease of life? No thank you.
I mean, it looks cool but if you’re gonna open with a title like that, expect a reaction lol.
