Titanium
Why Titanium?
 
Quite simply, because Ti is the ultimate material for a bicycle frame. The frame is the heart and soul of a bike and gives it its mojo or "feel". Carbon has its place in the bicycle industry, but its best home is in components.
 
Ti is a lifetime purchase. It never wears out and does not rust. It doesn't need a paint job, so there's no unappealing scratches. Scratches on titanium just lend your bike some character. And, feel free to crash because titanium is almost dent-proof. We compare Titanium to a 35mm camera. The digital camera might be cool but the 35 still has a purpose and a home. Ti has all the needed properties to build the perfect bike, perhaps its greatest feature being that it is RUST proof and just about bullet proof.
 
We sell lots of Titanium because we ride lots of Titanium. Full custom Ti. Ti and Carbon combos. Compact or traditional sizing. Hardtail or softtail. With disc brakes or without. Ti rigid forks. The sky is the limit with Titanium. No molds or preset sizing.
 
If the lightest bike on the planet is your goal, then we can build you a 14.5lb 6/4 ti bike. If you are on a tighter budget, the straight gauge bike may be your answer. If bling bling is your thing, the Independent Fabrication Ti lug with carbon tube could be for you. Our goal is to build you the perfect bike and we feel Titanium is the essential starting platform.
