Framebuilders Thinking about a custom frame? Lugged vs Fillet Brazed. Different Frame materials? Newvex or Pacenti Lugs? why get a custom Road, Mountain, or Track Frame? Got a question about framebuilding? Lets discuss framebuilding at it's finest.

I bought serotta... Sorta

I bought all of serottas unbuilt bikes and materials. Any interest in TI lugs, bb shells, dropouts, top/down tubes? Would love to build some bikes but a have my Bedford and an ottrot and zero time.

I've been wanting to experiment with Titanium, but a bit reluctant to make the leap.

Anyway, it all depends on the asking price. I'd be interested in components to make a few frames if it was cheap, but not if it cost a small fortune.

Of course, you could dribble the parts up onto E-Bay over a few years depending on how much you have.

All Ti, with a lot of lugs from the ottrot. Can still buy carbon from enve if anyone wanted to do a metal matrix bike. I have maybe a dozen legend ti setups. Missing seatstays and chain stays. Id sell as a lot or individual.

Personally I think the Ottrot stuff would be a pain to deal with, with possibly the exception if you had access to some kind of a carbon seat stay that fit.

Maybe Bamboo Frames????

Nova Cycles used to have titanium seat and chain stays, but they seem to be out of stock now.

I have 6 plain sets and 3 more ornately machined sets. They would come with the seatstay boss(alum) and the special torx bolt. I'd like to get $50 for the plain and $70 for the nicer set. These are far nicer then anything you can find in paragon or anywhere else.

You have mail.

I'm also interested in the FD hangers in the last pic: do you know what diameter tubing the inside curve fits?

It would be a good idea to take that message down or disguise the email somehow, spambots are everywhere.

You would probably get a more interest if you let the guys on mtbr and VS know. A lot more Ti guys there.

This is kinda sad, but a great opportunity for a frame builder. Hope you can get the word out, reach the most people you might want to post the whole lot on ebay, not to 'sell', necessarily but to make it known you have all this cool stuff.
