Is it your first ti frame? Always wondering how different reacts from a steel one
that’s a really clean build, the color coordination on those hunt wheels with the mud green bar tape is gonna look sharp once it’s dialed in. titanium’s got a different feel than steel for sure, stiffer laterally but that smooth ride quality people talk about is real once you get rolling. the switchpath is a solid choice for a first drop bar bike since you can actually run it as a gravel setup if the mood strikes. how far along are you on the actual assembly, or is this just the pre-build flex before things get real.
