What's the Ti frame? You should build that up as a sscx bike if it has enough tire clearance.

Mechanic quoted me $860 to fix coolant leak(s). Bye-bye automobile. Can't wait to go back to car-free life.

I can imagine, i dont have any plans on racing cross but if i get one it would be nice to have a "road bike" that can also fit fatter tires with some bite when i do some longer rides on questionable surfaces

Today I had the ingenious idea of getting some automotive clearbra material and placing it on key areas on my bikes to reduce scuffs / chipping.

Lizard Skins makes several kits. I have it on my powder coated road bike.
https://lizardskins.com/road/bike-pr...rame-kit-clear
The one linked is a big kit but smaller, less expensive kits are available so you don't have to buy too much.
How much do you need? I have a few small pieces you can have. Nothing more than an inch long, good for protecting against cable rub on the head tube and that sort of thing. Let me know.

I appreciate the offer and thanks for the link! I can get a roll of the clearbra for under $20 so I will probably go that route

It's worth keeping in mind that as a new racer the SS class is an open category. This means you could be lining up with Cat 3 and higher level racers, and they will rip your legs off. You can ride a SS bike in any regular lower category (4/5) if you want to.

That's pretty smart. My road bike came with a clear guard on the drive side chainstay to protect it from chain slap. I almost pulled it off but then I was like "Oh." Side note - clear bras turns up interesting Google image results.

Nope, not gonna google that.
This was the patina prior to powder coat. I miss it in a masochistic kind of way.

So I did a Google image search of:
Clear bra
Clear bras
What a difference one single letter makes. If you want pictures of nude colored bras, do the second search. If you want to see car related clear bras, do the first one.
