Titanium training bike?

alecj · March 2020

Morning, I have had a number of racing bikes, but am considering a titanium bike to train on and ride all year. I am looking for something slightly racy, but with the capacity to fit wider tyres for minor off road excursions and fairly classic looking. Maybe Enigma? Litespeed?

Does anyone have any ideas, relavant experience or thoughts?

Thanks, Alec

Look at planet x for Titanium bikes. Good value.

The Reilly bikes look incredible, and I think that I stumbled across Laverack yesterday - thanks for the suggestions.

The new Dolan ADX Disc 2020 looks very nice indeed.

Clean lines and tidy cables.

It certainly does. I'd love to see one close up.

Looks a lot like the others ?

I've noticed a lot of Ti winter bikes this year. Unless it's the same ones I keep bumping into.

More popular due to off-roading capabilities and durability?

Could be onto something. Even the roads are off road these days with the potholes and censored .

I have a Lynskey but if I was buying now I would look at Ribble.

I’m thinking of using a titanium bike for my next build.

I'm thinking of a titanium or stainless frame for a part 'do it all' replacement for my ageing CX bike. I'm looking for something that I can use for CX/gravel and throw some guards/rack on if I wanted to and use for a road winter frame.

I'm interested in the greater clearance that Laverack offer in Ti with the option of having guard mounts and even rack mounts added.
Or maybe going for a Standert Erdgeschoss which is stainless and has same mounts as standard.

On One Pickenflick from Planet X.
Still feel like a censored for getting rid of mine.
