Ultimate Titanium Bike

[TheJ]

I see the guys at Calculus Bikes have been quite busy getting the Ultimate Titanium bike made. Each frame is made to custom fit size for the individual rider, ensuring the most comfortable and efficient ride. Well done to the local boys from Hermanus!!

 

 

The bike looks FIRE

 

That bike looks tight. Very sexy.

Coming from a Triathlon background I know the importance of being comfortable on your bike. You need to become one with your machine and custom frames are definitely the future of cycling.

Just a pity that the average ride can't afford a custom frame though.

I think that is the point of a custom frame, especially Ti, it's not for the average rider.  It's for the someone that really knows their bikes, and wants something really special.

When having a custom Titanium frame built in Europe, your bill will run up to 4500-5500 Euro (which roughly amounts to R75 000 - R92 000). Calculus Bikes offers something similar for R35 000. This is still a lot of money, but definitely value for money I'd say?

I love a Titanium bike so much! If you love a titanium bike you should look at #calculusbikes

I own the ultimate titanium shoulder.

 

Probably makes sense to get a bike to match?

Do you prefer road or mountain to match your shoulder, or maybe cyclocross then you can carry it on your shoulder?

I've broken a fair share of carbon frames, replacing them have worked out quite expensive.

Considering that titanium is near unbreakable I don't consider R35k to be exorbitant.

What about something more in this line?

Ultimate Ti Bike or Ultimate Pakdonkie?

Had the privilege to take one of these out for a spin. 

 

The workmanship is amazing. Welding is meticulous and attention to detail is evident in design.

 

I am no expert in bike design. All I can say, this just works. Handling is playful and precise. The specific setup made it nippy in tight situations and with the selection of tires/shock setup it stuck like glue to anything that came it's way. It clime'd like a mountain goat and went like a rocket on the descents. Just loved it!

 

 Truly excited to see custom bike designing  developing at this pace.

Would you be fine with this as an upgrade to the pakdonkie?

Well I've been following you guys from the start and the progress has been jaw-dropping. Just keep on grafting boys!

I also really like the idea of a custom fit, very important to get this spot-on with a custom bike. Is the ergo-fit included in the frame's build price?

Thanks, Basson!

Yes, everything is included in the frame price currently at R35k.  No sneaky hidden costs.

 

What is your Ultimate Ti Bike?

On a recent trip to South Africa to do the W2W with a buddy of mine, I ran into this new bike name on the starting line.

 

When we were back home in the UK, I did a bit of investigating and came across this absolute beaut of a bike on Calculus Bike's website. As I am originally from South Africa it was great to see some local innovation. Can't wait to see your brand in the UK. Go Calculus!!!

Another beaut from Calculus!!
