The On One / Lynskey Whippet Ultralight Ti XC frame is in prototype stage at the moment. The brief was to make the lightest Ti XC frame possible. More changes are going to be made to the test frame below but it will retain the swap out drop outs. Ready soon!

Now that looks great!! Much nicer looking in my opinion than the 456 Ti frame. Any idea when they will be available, and any rough idea on price?

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

http://www.light-bikes.com/bikegallery/BikeListing.asp?id=732

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' date=' 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......

Not sure on the details Zaskar. We had the 456 Ti frame at R13500, so hopefully not to far of that that. Available by the end of the year (hopefully) as they are getting them to the testing labs for CEN certification etc at shortly.

I would go sram, rox and mavic.

I also ride a TI bike, if they don't crack in the first month, they will last you a lifetime.

 

[BaieSukkel]

I can get a nice deal on a full SRAM XO build kit.

 

 

 

American classic wheels, Truvativ h/bar, stem, cranks & seatpost, Avid J7 brakes.
