I’d forgotten that Mark had the photo of a non-prism effect / clear-coated Stylus frame; it does indeed look very similar to Ti in the photo but the externally butted top tube and Easton sticker on the seat tube are dead give aways. The other two Stylus frames in the
BF thread had the prism finish and clear coat that Santana uses on its aluminum LE models and offers up – at least in the past – as an optional finish with either a clear or translucent colored top coat as an alternative to paint.

You are correct; I mis-spoke… so to speak.

Interesting, but totally unrelated to anything else in this thread… that is, unless someone other than
Titus (i.e., Santana) has built a single bike out of Exogrid.
