Building a ti hardtail beast!

Recommended Posts

So, if you can get your hands on a ti hardtail frame, what do you strap onto it?

 

 

 

XTR group?

 

SRAM XX?

 

 

 

RockShox?

 

Fox?

 

 

 

Raceface?

 

Ritchey?

 

 

 

Mavic crossmax?

 

Bontrager?

 

XTR?

 

 

 

Selle?

 

Fizik?

 

Specialized?

 

 

 

 

 

I'm leaning towards waiting for the SRAM XX, take a RockShox sid, raceface bar,stem & post, Specialized saddle, and put it all on Mavic crossmax wheels.

I hope you are not getting that frame. It is as old as the mountains. It still has a hanger for canti brakes.

My Ti Ht is built up with a SID Worldcup fork, KCNC Finishing kit, ZTR/ Revolution/ A2Z Race wheels. Groupset is a mix of top end Sram and XTR components. Brakes are Formula ORO units.

 

In full race guise it comes in at just over 9.2 Kgs.

Get this frame. Look at the adjustable stays. You can use it with a derailleur or as a single speed.Big%20smile20090730_075925_VIP_Titane_smal.JPG

I've seen a XLM built to 7003 grams.....

I would like to get it to stay below 9000g - the rest can easily come off MY frame!

 

 

 

I like the Specialized Body Geometry saddles - on a hardtail it saves you plenty pain.

 

 

 

Most of the components I've decided on, just not the wheels.

 

 

 

SRAM XX (group)

 

RockShox sid (can be paired within the XX group)

 

RaceFace Next SL Seat post & flat bar, Deus XC stem.

 

 

 

Just the wheels......Crank Bro's, DT, Mavic,Reynolds?

 

 

 

I like those Reynolds wheels......
