My Airborne 18" Titanium gone Frankensteins Monster. I have gone a bit wild on the selection (everyone please be gentle) of kit for my Wolf in Sheep's Clothing. Loads of titanium n carbon fiber to keep the build light and comfy. Made as Uber light commuter but not required now so has been kept safe in the attic.
Frame is remains solid and good condition. Built as lockdown#1 project last year and only put about 20 dry miles on it. The whole set up rides great and so smooth.
As the bike was a rebuild it got loads of new kit and all new outer n inner cables. It has:
Hope rear hub with lovely XT 8 speed cassette
American classic front hub
4za Ti saddle
XT 8 SPEED SHIFTERS WITH xt rear mech and XT front.
2x Front rings with bigger being a 44T so good for street riding.
Ritchey post
LX arms (upgraded rings) think they were TA
Sram x0 carbon front brake
XT v rear with new pads
Pedals are basic flaties but loads of platform.
New:
Titanium bars and stem.
White Bros carbon forks
Chain rings (nice quality)
Chain (Taya silver)
Schwalbe Kojak folding tyres
American classic headset (so light)
Carbon spacers and post clamp
Some 14gm Brompton grips
Deore front lever (sorry lost steam looking for a 90's XT lever)
Imperfect bits: new BB but has a wee click. If ride the BB though, it's still running well. I'm just off M5 Clevedon jcn north of Weston.
I think there is still easy weight shaving to achieve but the costly weight has already been chopped off. £590ono hope I that's reasonable, the build was far more and hope someone looking likes it. Only sold once on here before so being a bit clueless.
Summary-It's does not conform to one era or groupset but I had to scratch my itch to put a few things I'd always liked in one smorgasbord, tasty and fast.
