Hi all,is there anyone who own this particular bike please?Heard very good things about it and was thinking about a titanium frameset also.Majority would be gravel/bikepacking,but could also taking part ultra distance races/events with it.Price looks very good,just thinking what's the catch,comparing against Kinesis,Linskey,not to mention the high brands.So main interest would be is this capable to take on everything really if I just change the wheels for the actual use/event?Bit hard to believe that it's a capable gravel bike,also I can take on a week bikepacking and racing the Transcontinental comes in one package,all I need is a wheel swap.Any info would be great,thanx in advance.

    I was just about to buy one, even had my debit card in hand on the phone but they didnt have any xl frames in stock. The guy i spoke to was straight up honest and said as the bikes so new to them the lead time on the xl frames wasnt gonna be for a couple of months.

    I researched the bike thoroughly and would have been happy with it i think. But after not willing to wait i dived a bit more into custom titanium frames and found Burls cycles. Have to say i would recommend as i have a bike built to my spec and geometry and wouldnt change a thing.

    That frame is the same as this one, OK it has SRAM not Shimano though

    Not exactly the same, the geometries are different for a start. They may be very similar, possibly made in the same factory, but not the same.

    Hi. I've sent you a PM about a Kinesis GF Ti V3 I've got going spare. It's been stuck in my outbox (the message that is) for a week so guessing you're inbox is full or you missed it coming in. Let me know if it all interested and if not have fun with your buy.
