she 'didn't see' me despite it being noon in July, cloudless, 6'3" bright clothing, and 2x300 lumen DRLs
not much else I can do except run a strobe, which I've purchased.
What custom ti bike? Seven Cycles has been on my radar for a while.... If my route was reasonably smooth I'd be on rigid. It is the opposite of smooth. Been running tubeless for maybe 15yrs, it's fantastic. Schwalbe Allmotion 29x2.0. I swear these things are made of iron - around 10k on them and very little wear. And they are fast and feel great.
Yikes. Sorry you had to live through that and glad you're back on your pedals! Unfortunately drivers like that are going to be dangerous anyways, irregardless what you do.
You should check out the
Falkenjagd Hoplit Pi. They are great builders of Ti bikes, as are
Pilot,
Hiilite,
Boettcher and
Nua. I've now seen and ridden the
Waltly pinion, I think it's a good option too. Now you'll notice these are all non-US Ti builders. Few US Ti builders like Moots etc bother with Pinion/Gates, and for me that's a prerequisite, along with cables in the headtube. If I'm paying $$$ for a custom bike, I want neat cabling and the drivetrain I want.
