Visit to No. 22 Bicycle company - Titanium bike builders
Visiting the family and took the opportunity to go visit friends at No. 22 Bicycle Company. Really cool operation in a beautiful old building in Johnstown, NY. Nice folks, very kind to take the time to let me walk around and ask a bunch of un-informed questions. I was impressed with the whole operation and the finish on everything was next level. Anodizing and Cerakote finishes looked incredible in person my lousy pictures don't do them justice. The titanium fenders were sexy. They do a bike with an almost seamless internal coupler that was pretty elegant. I just realized I did not get to see one of the adjustable ti seat posts, we talked about them a bit and there was a photo on the wall, but there wasn't one out that I saw?
Ti Fender - in process
This frame just had the carbon tube bonded

Just re-read my original post. Reads like a kid going to the candy store for the first time. To be fair, this was my first time at the candy store! My bikes are 60's-90's and 95% steel so this was a new world for me.
