Hello I'm selling my bike titanium road bike frame.In my opinion this titanium road bike frame with pannier and mud guard eyelets integral to the frame is as happy racing round with carbon frames as it is fully loaded on a bike packing trip.
Selling because I don't have the time to mile munch like I used to.
Bellow is an extract from a blog, with a URL at the bottom.
A frame weight of 1.42kg was respectable for the breed (compare and contrast with the recently-tested
Enigma Excel
, whose stiffer and more expensive 6AL-4V construction yields a saving in claimed weights of just 170 grams).
The titanium tubing (the 3AL 2.5v construction is
de rigeur
in bicycle manufacture, and used, for example, by prestigious American brand, Moots, across its road range) met our expectations for a smooth, forgiving ride.
The welding was neat, and we liked the cowling over the dropouts, as well as the mounting points for racks and mudguards. Versatile indeed.
We’re also happy to report the stiffness of the Nocturne’s construction, which was most apparent at the bottom bracket. Our 14-stone test pilot, a man ably equipped to find flex where there is any, reported none from his testing.
The most notable feature of the frame was not the material, however, but the geometry. Moda have pitched the Nocturne long in the top tube, short in the seat tube and tall at the head tube.
