Think it's repairable?

No.

ask an expert.

Where can I get my Ibis frame repaired?
For all pre-2005 Ibis bikes, we recommend you find a framebuilder who works in whatever material your original Ibis was made. We would not hesitate to recommend the Sycip Brothers, all their information is in the preceding question.

If you need some love applied to your titanium Ibis, we also recommend you call Steve Potts. He's a master with the tig torch and a perfectionist when it comes to working on things made of metal. 415-663-1974

Here is my Moto Ti Team.

Cat0020,
You should see if you can find a scrapper in your area that will buy titanium. No sense in just letting it sit around.

You kidding me? it's a story piece in my garage, how many people do you knw have severed their carotid artery and survived? I even have a titanium coil in my neck in place of my artery now.

Very nice! It almost looks identical to my Vortex.
I'd love to swing a leg over a Destiny.

I've got no problem with the paint job - I actually like orange. However there are far too many logos, with the wheels being the prime offenders. I've never cared for wheels that have logos that are bigger than the one on the downtube... but that's just my own two cents. The frame looks like it would be a nice ride!

PS - Tell the client to make the seat level! That hurts almost more than the wheel decals! :)

Did somebody say titanium?

holy crap that looks like the EXACT same bike with different decals.

The seat tubes appear to be different where the front derailleur is mounted.

I've always wanted a titanium road bike, so this spring I got two (actually three counting the MTB). One of the things I like about Ti is that, if the bike has not been crashed or abused, the frame is every bit as good as the day it was new. In addition, with the exception of some tubing shapes, there has not be a lot of significant recent innovation with all Ti frames. So that allows you to pick from the last twenty years of Ti design.

In my case, I really wanted a Litespeed Ultimate and found a very low mileage 1998 model (ridden one season and put away). It is accurately described by all of the usual Crit bike adjectives and, yes, it accelerates like a rocket and is a real thrill to ride. Although not race legal, I really like the bent seat tube design.

Suffering from the male tendencie towards accumulation, I then picked up a 1994 Litespeed Catalyst frame and fork, and built it up with a combination of new and used parts, including a compact crank. I wanted to keep some of the classic road bike appearance, so I installed the quill stem and Shimano 600 brakes (they match the Ti very well). This bike definitely has an all day quality to it, but is deceptively quick and climbs, descends and corners very well.

Oh yes, for the terminally anal, the seats are slide far forward. This is not a reach issue, but to achieve my standard cockpit triangle.

Now I'm looking for a 1990-94 Tachyon (700 wheels) or an Airborne Spectre.
