Retro Newbie
This is an amazing unique bike that has been ridden and cared for regularly.
It is ready to ride with no issues whatsoever. The frame has the usual cable rub but it is completely free of dents and dings. Some decals on the frame are a bit worn as befitting a used frame.
A great chance to get your hands on a sought after lightweight titanium frame with up to date components chosen for their lightweight, durable and bling characteristics. A real head turner combining a rare old school frame with mostly 2010/11 contemporary components.
I bought this as I felt that the titanium used and its welding was on a par with Litespeed and Lynskey and if you've never ridden a titanium hardtail before, you're in for a treat. Light, tight but very forgiving and of course forever rust free.
