Titan Cycles - Gravel frames In my pursue of getting a gravel frame, i have considered carbonda cfr696 and china made custom Ti (Waltly or Titan). What im looking for is probably a road bike with bigger tyre clearance (40c), and of course with tweaked geo to make it more stable off road. This sorta rule out cfr696 as it looks like a pure all out gravel frame. So i have decided on Titan cycles. Waltly was considered but they’re not taking orders so the decision to go with Titan came pretty easy.

I work with Eric on geometry details. I provided all info about the frame i have in mind  in my initial email and Eric did consider every little details into the drawing - i was quite pleased.

Geo was approved by me on 1jun2021 and i expect it to be completed and shipped by end of august.

I have decided on:
Sram force 22 mechanical (shifter, RD, FD, cassette, chain)
Praxis Alba X 48/32
Juintech GT-F
Fulcrum Rapid Red 5 wheels
WTB Riddler tyres
Shimano Deore spd pedals
Cane Creek 40 headset
Deda Zero2 stem and seatpost
Arundel stainless steel cages
Handlebar - undecided yet. Not sold on flared hbar if im honest. Maybe just 12deg of flare only?

Will post as and when theres updates!

Re: Through Axle recommendations - ZTTO or Wiggles BrandX So i bought thru axle from ZTTO. Tips on on this TA (also most of the TAs) is to make sure you slot the allen key fully on the axle before putting any effort to tighten or loosen. The surface of the allen slot on the TA is quite soft aluminium eventho its a 7075 aluminium.

Re: Titanium Gravel bike: PYTitans build thread Awesome bike! Did you just simply get the frame in their Aliexpress store or did you come up with your own design?

Re: www.icebikeheaven.com is it a legit online store ? icebikehaven is Malaysian company. I can vouch for them as I'm Malaysian myself. i think i bought a Shimano mtb pedal, about less than a year ago.

normally i would buy from icebikehaven via Shopee or Lazada (similar to Amazon in the US). I didnt realise they ship international.

Re: Is anyone aware of any frame designers that would assist with a custom design? If you know your fit i.e. your preferred geo with stack, reach, STA, HTA, etc - your frame manufacturer can draw the frame for you. You can change and adjust until you approve the drawings. You’d be surprised the drawings is much more detailed than you can see from US or european builders.
