Ti frame for 820$?! What model is it?
Nice bike!
So you’re not sharing the details of the frame manufacturer?
Not sure I’d trust a $35 crank from Ali
Is this Ti? Or some sort of polished steel or something else?
It’s titanium, and its from China. Ankang Haofutan. They are oem supplier of some well known brands. But you can ask them to build one for u.
pls share more details about the elements! 🙂
Just wow. Congratulations. Nice work and well done
Sweet. I’ve just fitted a new bike seat and automatically looked at the saddle on your bike. Is it tilted back a bit, or is it just the angle of the shot?
