Pro ti titanium frame
I found a bike locally with this frame in all reality i want bike more for components but was curious in the frame guy said he paid 1200 7yrs ago for it hes only ashing 300 its got ultegra on it with mavic open wheels and look pedals. Also if its even a decent frameh how would i go about making sure that its in good shape i know titanium is hard to weld and if not done right could result in injury? Thank

Nice looking bike and looks like it could possibly be a very good deal.

Stolen bike? I say this because it appears the seller doesn't know the value of the bike. Unless something is very wrong with it like a bent frame

Rides smooth and fast harder on the backside than my old steelies(figured it would be? Lastly includes a set of conti ultra race tires. Got it all for 275 had to drive about 45moin each way. Only issue i noticed is it doesnt want to go to large front cog but shifter is clicking im sure its just the wire tension is off a biti figure a bit of adjument will get itthat all runninfor smooth all other gears work well _
Ps srry for messed up paragraph on phone and it is typing weird

I believe...now don't quote me, but I think a local rider here had a ti frame like that, from "pro ti". A Chinese company using Russian titanium alloys, from back when they were flooding the market with the stuff.
His broke, but he liked it well enough until then.

This one is called Precision Ti. I think Colorado Cyclist used to sell an upgraded version of this bike that was called Pro Ti.
