Oranges are not the only fruit – it turns out there’s more than just one enterprising Chinese company that will deal with you directly if you’re after a custom titanium frame; introducing Titan Product.
Titanium audax frame found roaming in the wild, carefully trapped and tamed by Titan.

You might remember Adrian’s radical prototype from a few months ago, where he set out to build a 29′er with the shortest possible chainstays – well, he’s back again with V2!

Martin's first XACD frame – now running as a fully rigid singlespeed.
Martin recently got in touch with me to let me know about an XACD frame that he had made a little while ago and about his plans to have ‘frame 2.0′ produced. I asked him about what he had [...] 
Olivier’s tip-offs never end, this time he pointed me towards a Picasa album that documented Dominique Charbonnel’s individual frame designs from napkin sketch to reality. I’ve tried to get in touch with the man himself but with no luck yet, so this is more of a slide show than a normal gallery item! From [...] |
