Any of the above will make a drool worthy steed. The nice thing about ti, you don't need to worry about mucking up paint or rust etc. Going custom--you're looking at $4,000 just for the frame or frameset. Don't get me wrong, $7K is a lot of money--but given normal pricing and COVID supply-issues, finding parts to build with parts at any price will be a problem. I built my ti groading rig back 3 or 4 years ago now. It tipped the scales at $5K after all was said and done--and that was with a budget ti stock frame.
yeah the TI options seem a bit much on the money end. But, it is worth considering for us I suppose. I know both steel and titanium, if taken cared of properly, will last for years and years to come. We want comfort but also the ability to perform and push ourselves at events and races (though our goal isn’t to be competitive but to challenge ourselves).
