Finally sorted enough for a full build shot.

A couple iterations of mine. Still in service as shown w/drop bars. Sorely under-rated...the lugged ones (series 90) were silver-brazed by the Keirin guys at Panasonic, with Waterford lugs and Prestige OS tubing.

Getting there...

This super nice seatpost collar came on a super nice frame I recently picked up. Timeframe is mid-'00s. Any idea who made it? Frame is a Phil Wood / Independent Fabrications co-brand, and I'm guessing 'E' is neither. Just curious, thanks!

Only 350mm+, only titanium, only 27.2 please...beyond that, not too picky. Ideally with a little setback and in North America, but not required. Rider condition is fine, high-end brands suitable for this: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/phil-indy-fab-ti-ss-rarity-the-piss-off.490632/

Yes...steel version was the Kiss-Off, made a bit earlier by Sycip, and in only slightly greater numbers.

Per IF directly, only 37 made in total (between '02 and '06)...most 26" with vertical dropouts and EBB, a few 29", and then this one...#14, built in March of '05, and apparently the only one ever with horizontal track dropouts. Head tube badge is sterling silver! I have been loving my '99 King...

Sorry...don't get on here much. Yes, still have ceramic.

Why would I lie?

Here's one that'll please this dad crowd for sure... Very clean Fat Chance "Yo Betty" (a tiny version of the Eddy). 14-15" frame, 26" wheels. Not mine, but can connect you with seller. Asking US$1k, plus shipping from USA...pretty rich for a kid's bike. But SO COOL!

Added to your referenced post...you're welcome!

Hardly correct, but a good look and not a bad fit. 80mm SID (whose A-C is not so far off the 65mm Z1). My '99.

Roughly as much as a 2nd rim...

Sounds like new chain/old gears. How to the cog/ring teeth look?
