Thank god I don't have to ride that monstrosity. I'd give up cycling.
Some of the Titanium track bikes also have a bit more unique design.

They seem to do at least some amount of custom special order frames.

This appears to be a prototype, but you could ask the company.

This one appears to be hydroformed. I'm not sure the photos do it justice.

OP.
Can you please rename this the "what is the ugliest titanium frame you have seen" thread.
I will remove the pic of the Blacksheep which is gorgeous.
Some of those ones up above look like they were made by the work experience kid.

I kind of like the Y Foil, but think it could use a bit better finishing.
Perhaps people are objecting to the Stealth Fighter Look.

Are you interested in vintage?
Another one to look at is the Colnago BiTitan.
Square (diamond) top tube, double downtube. Unfortunately also noted for a bit of flex.

Looks beautiful, but I probably don't want it since I don't like extreme flexing. BTW, I know that one of the advantages of titanium is that it feels 'alive' and slightly flexible during rides. But nothing extreme.

A beautiful titanium bike
A Marinoni Sportivo Ti. Still putting it together. A Campagnolo Super Record EPS groupset is a wee bit more complicated than I anticipated. Just ordered a bracket to attach the front dérailleur to the frame.
