Something along this lines . . . 

And also . .  look as the amount of water bottle mounting points on this frame.   None of this only two cage-mount nonsense please.

We're looking for some ideas about building the ultimate titanium dream bike.

Any recommendations from the room given it's Friday?

It already exists.

external cabling routing to me on a titanium looks really bad , for me MUST be internal

such a piece of art needs only the best and ugly cable routing juts takes away the appeal for me

 

Love it with clean lines

Paragon Sliders or swinging dropouts at the rear like this stunning Salsa Fargo Ti is also a must. 

(And again, take note, LOST of mounting points please. See frame and fork.)

Since you ask so nicely. . . .  one more thing. (But this is nitpicking) 

 

Many manufacturers make use of a flat-bar in the beginning of the drive-side chain-stay at the BB. Like the Kona Raijin or this Lynskey.

And while I understand 110% why they do it, wheel and chain-ring clearance,  it makes the visual symmetry of the frame ugly.

Rather keep the chain-stays round tubes like on the Salsa Fargo  Ti or this version of the Vassago Optimus Ti. 

Visually it just looks more balanced and smart. 

(But that is just my opinion)

Topology optimised, 3D Printed, Titanium bike.

 

Look at the Bottom Bracket on this frame. But imagine the whole frame is designed and built in one piece without weld seams...

 

We are busy developing the technology to be able to do this, still some way to go but we will get there soon.

 

We are developing the machine to produce aerospace parts, but nothing prevents me from printing a new bike frame during the shakedown of the machine at full build volume  :devil:
