Most comfortable frame material?

[vickster]

The build is underway...fortunately friend not flooded!

Unfortunately, the front derailleur is the wrong size (need a braze on with adaptor not band on). New ones ordered from Wiggle/CRC on speedy delivery

There seems to be an issue with the bottom bracket, requiring a call to Genesis/Hope

The rack clamp is also the wrong size, but not such a concern

Hoping will be completed at weekend

she's coming along

Looks great but you need a chain.

 

[vickster]

And a front mech that fits...plus mudguards and bar tape and the cross levers maybe

Need another bottle cage too

She's almost ready

Hi Vickster
It is looking very smart. Is it a Titanium frame? If so did you look at any other suppliers? I am looking at Enigma, Sabbath and Lynskey at the moment, but should I look at any others?

 

[vickster]

It's steel with carbon fork. Genesis Equilibrium 20 2013.

There is a Ti version too

Van Nicholas make handsome titanium frames

Planet X have now, but i don't know how they stack up

Looks a lovely bike, but why isn't it black?

 

[vickster]

Too much of it is

Is it Orange Vickster ?

Can't quite tell on my phone.

Love Orange (vive la difference').

burnt copper ?? I think is what they call it ? I have seen one of these in the flesh, looks a very nice frame maybe not the lightest of materials but that is not always the best.

 

[vickster]

The bike will be sub 10kg based on my totting up of the components I have a carbon bike for when I want lighter

titanium but they are not verry stiff.

And a lot more expensive
