Nice! Although nothing showed up for me and it was just a red X. I had to right click, properties, copy the link and paste in new window to see the picture.

It was worth it. Is that an Axiom?

I have been talking to a few custom builders, just to see what thier capabilities are with Ti, or even Steel.

One is really chomping at the bit to build me a totally custom bike in steel already, sure is different than the take a number to stand in line approch :lol:


Hey ViperZ,
Who's in the running? What about a custom Moots, or Strong, or Dean, or hmmm IF, or who else does custom TI? I heard that crazy dude Zinn is now doing TI. His book is pretty good. Let's see, what about Tom Kellogg at Spectrum Cycles?

I have been talking to Everti and Spicer. Gene at Spicer was wanting to build me a custom Steel Cruiser frame with Disc brakes. Everti has a Ti Fighter Cross Bike.

I would like a Seven Mud Honey Cross Bike, but it's a bit costly right now.

I think a Steel/Ti 29" MTB woul dfill the need for my new MTB, yet beable to suffce as a good cross bike as well with different tires/wheels

Still does not show until you right click, copy properties and paste in a new browser. Once it's in your PC's Cache, it shows up in the thread. Your host may not allow remote linking.

Thats a fine machine!

No progress to report. I've been going crazy waiting on the components to arrive. I did remove the decals. I started with the top tube cause they were a little wrinkled and ended up taking them all off. It looks a little naked right now. I hope when everything is put together it'll look better.

I'm thinking about making some type of head tube badge for it. Does anyone have any ideas??

My Litespeed Vortex compact. I bought this about two months ago, rode it over 500 miles since and am having a blast with it. I just added a Selle Italia Gelflow SLR saddle, Easton 44cm handlebars and GP4000 tires.

Nice Additions :)

Gomez308 11-07-06 08:02 PM

OK. Here are a couple of pics of my partial build. Sorry. I couldn't find a garage door at the office. This will have to do.

Excuse me sir, I have no garage door to show you, so let me take the photos next to my helicopter. :eek:

Kidding aside, what frame is that, and what size is it? Judging by the headtube, I'd say it's a fairly large size. And oh yes - it looks very nice so far. :)

Trust me. The copter is not mine. I just get to wiggle the sticks every once and a while. And I get paid for it too.:rolleyes:


The bike is a Habanero Team Issue 64 C-T. Mostly Ultegra with Shimano compact crank. Thomson stem and post. King HS. Deda Newton shallow drop bars. Mike Garcia Niobium 30 wheels.

I guess that's all. I'm still waiting on the front derailleur so I can finish it up. So far it rides really well. I rode it like a scooter around the hangar today.:D

ViperZ 11-07-06 08:28 PM

Awesome, love the no grarage door thing so here is chopper instead :lol:

bmike 11-07-06 08:30 PM

IF Ti ClubRacer, my distance machine, brevet bike, etc. Ti frame, Steel Fork

Day of build... I had a pro fit done about a week later and worked out the steerer tube length and stem position. (didn't want to cut anything too short!) The Ritchey crank was eventually swapped to a Specialities TA Carmina.

Love the jeckyll / hyde of this frame. Road machine that converts easily (and gracefully) to a distance machine.

ViperZ 11-07-06 08:34 PM

Very nicely appointed machine bmike :beer:

Nice. I went out tonight and tried some night photography as well. I posted a link in your other thread. I have that same tripod (works great backpacking!) and a Canon as well. Was inspired but didn't get nearly the same kind of shots you did.
