The rust bothered me too - though I suppose drop outs could be steel - don't shoot me down in flames if I'm wrong - no nowt about how to build titanium bike.

What bothered me was the cheapo components on an alleged high end frame.
 
MMmmm. Not convinced by this one. I thought that Ritchey Ti frames were gusseted under the downtube :? . i could be wrong though as i've never owned one.

I tried to find a pic but can't even find a pic of Ti race frame. :roll:

Looks like steel to me. :?

Especially where the chain/seat stays join the dropouts - these are usually chunkier in titanium frames and the dropouts are more machined.

Could be wrong though...

My titanium frame has rust stain on the dropout from the QR skewers.

I dont think ritchey made a ti frame . not a retro one anyway .


Haven't heard of one either, not that I'm an expert..dunno..something on that frame just doesn't look like Ritchey..hmm
 
i woulda said steel, hes obviously got the ritchey idea off the dropouts as many seem to, look like the ones on the rockhopper frame i have sat here.
maybe hes made an innocent mistake, but his story of "finally getting a chance to build it up" seems unlikely given the selection of crap hes bolted on ot it

There's a simple reason why you cant find a picture of a Titanium Ritchey mountain bike, and that is because it doesn't exist.

this is a cheap nickel plated steel bike made in their thousands and branded as any from Fuji to Handsome Dog.
 
hmmm.... I've never heard of a Ritchey Ti Frame, unless Ritchey made Ti dropouts?

Listing no longer for sale anyway now.
