    Twisted tubes, bike ID required

    That's a good point actually...It sure does look wicked (even if it's not a fat! 😇 ) with these tubes but darn do they look tricky to weld and heavy? It would also be interesting to know if it actually contribute to rigidity in the front triangle. Still though amazing frame!

    The titanium weld and detail appreciation thread.

    I am not sure the French manufacturer Emery has been mentioned in this thread. They had a pretty special Ti frame in 93 I believe that was made in Taiwan and was 6Al-4V tubes throughout. That's pretty exceptional as 6Al-4V is much more difficult to work with than 3Al-2,5V. Personally, I have...

    Bianchi NTH X32 dedacciai zero XT 97/98 - Northern Italy on Subito. bargain 150 Euros whole bike

    A lot of Nth action lately. I hope an Italian member from here can snatch this as these are so rare. If that's the Genius Columbus model it's crazy cheap.

    Fat City Cycles Yo Eddy fork Vs. BOI (Big One Inch):my forks

    So here we go…Columbus Nivacrom is technically a CroMo but I noticed it doesn’t rust as easily because of its composition.

    These frames are very light. Some of the lightest of the era I think.

    Fat Chance Yo Eddy! Team Identification

    First round of Yos came in 1990 I believe and were equipped with Suntour XC pro. You see that the details these early frames had were truly impressive. As the Yo model evolved it gained better tubing but the small details were just not there. I am talking about the internal head tube and BB...

    Fat Chance Yo Eddy! Team Identification

    This looks to be either a Large or XL Yo possibly from 1993 but certainly after 1991. Based on the decals on the seatube it looks to be made in Sommervile so before the move to Serotta's factory in 94 for sure. The issue here is that there can be quite a bit of rust within the seatube and...

    Raleigh Special Products. 97 Custom. 853 steel, very red.

    I think what's pretty special about this frame is that it has a 75 steep seat tube angle. I remember seeing this in one of the Raleigh catalogs. With the Reynolds tubing and the components you are gathering for it it will be a joy to ride I am sure.

    Canadian Winter is on it's way.

    This fact alone would qualify you for a nobel price in sustainable commuting / moving / living to my eyes. Don't think I have came across many a chap from North America without automobiles. Congratulations anyhow!

    (Not) Hope MTB

    Hey @benjabbi do you recall if the headtube is 1 1/8 for this DBR or it has changed between years from 1 to 1 1/8? Thinking to buy one and looking to see what I have in stock to build it. Thanks in advance!
