Thanks to Spikes for this magnificent frame, you can see he loved it :)

(in truth not all are blue which looks blue in the pic :p)

They say Fat Chance titanium is the best bike ever! is that really true? I want to know it :cool:
..and this is why no grand experiments here, this should be just simple and plain build.

Actually I think on a Fat Titanium belongs another fork as segmented (perhaps something like Kona P2 titan),
maybe I'll let build a titanium fork like P2 but I'm not sure with the geo... we will see ;)

I'm also not quite sure with the Salsa stem, been looking for any ahead stem with noodle or integrated cable hanger (yes I know, there is not much choice).

Sorry guys, not much update available. I'm busy a lot ...too little time.

I'm also waiting for a modified ITM ahead stem with cable routing ;)
and also looking for a few nice and thin 1 inch spacer..

Until then may I make you satisfied with a couple of boring pictures :)

This is the perfect fork for ths frame: it has a different rake than a Kona P2. There is no need to upgrade anything there.
I would go w/ v brakes because i ride my bikes, a lot, and v brakes are much simple, less maintenance than cantilevers/

@Nader: Funny, what you define as "boring"! I think your Ti will become hot, hot, hot... ;)!

Cheers,

My new stem :)

I find it much nicer than Salsa and especially has the optimum length and angle for me. But first it has to go under operation (for planting a noodle :cool:)

(currently have no other tires!)

Soon it's time. Finally I have time and desire to bring this build to an end.

..and could sort a few parts (all with plenty of holes :))

That power hanger you mounted on the back of your brake booster is made to be used without a cable stop i.e. the housing runs from your brake lever directly to the power hanger.

Thanks :) I know mate, I use the same power hanger on my other bike ;)

99% sure that will feel terrible. The booster will flex.
That was not a good idea and you were right ;)
Sure it can't work that way

So I opted for the simplest solution :)
