Would you pay 40 000 ZAR for a titanium frame ?

[Heel Drop]

how much would you pay for a dream titanium frame ?

[Letum911]

Is this for a HT or a Duel sus? Does it include the shock?

[Heel Drop]

hardtail - just the frame - some road bikes a frameset with a carbon rigid fork

[lechatnoir]

There are so many factors to be unpacked here, that a Y/N binary poll is meaningless.

 

When you see 'that' frame (you know what I'm talking about), all sense goes out the window. As does your credit...

 

I think you need a third option - "It depends", then provide an open-ended option for comments. Then best of luck analysing that

Depends on what you attach value in life too

 

For many this is a lot of money for many not...and this is whether they have money or not as well

[Rigardt@Scott]

That's just getting to the point of flushing your money down the toilet if you ask me. If you look at my budget my bike is by far the recreational thing I spend the most money on - but even if I had the money to drop on a ti frame - 40k is just waaay too much.... Maybe if it was made from platinum I'd reconsider haha

[Heel Drop]

I looked at a few frames - hardtail - MTB and Gravel/Road type frames 

Many different variations specs etc and the average price point is around 40k for a GOOD frame 

I imported a complete TI cycle with parts and completely happy with the purchase 

I agree it may well be a very niche group that will purchase it and its a real shame that we miss out 

Some real nice bikes out there in this segment

Considering that Pt has a 10% HIGHER specific gravity than even gold, you've better hope that it comes with a carbon fork and wheels. You know, to keep the weight down.

 

Will make a lovely descender though. But being quite malleable, you'll probably crash at the first corner at too-high-a-speed with inadequate brakes. I'm thinking it'll be quite sore

[Kalahari Vegmot]

Are you going to feel a difference for 40K, or do you want bragging rights?

[Flippa]

Moonmen custom Ti frame and fork to my specs is R82k at today's exchange rate.

 

Black Sheep custom frame and double crown truss fork R70k.

 

Would I pay? Hell, yes if I had the dosh. Even if I didn't, I only need 1 kidney, 1 testicle and would give up a few other body parts.....

 

Paid 1000 pound for my Ti hardtail frame in 2012, Ti you only tend to buy once.......

[pista]

R40k is your deposit when you looking at frames from Independent Fabrications,Baum,MOOTS,Mosaic or SEVEN Cycles.

[the nerd]

As Flippa so eloquently says... 

 

"Ti you only tend to buy once......."

 

My lowly TD1 is a good few years old now, is it passed its sell by date, hell no... 

 

Would i drop the R40k on another Ti frame of sorts, or steel for that matter... yep. 

 

Do I have R40k to buy another bike... nope...
