The Unmistakable Advantages of Titanium

Incredibly Lightweight

Experience effortless climbs and swift acceleration. Titanium's exceptional strength-to-weight ratio delivers a frame that feels nimble beneath you, translating every pedal stroke into pure momentum.

Corrosion Proof

Immune to rust and corrosion, titanium is the ultimate choice for coastal environments like Key West. Salt air and humidity are no match, ensuring your investment retains its integrity and beauty for decades, often without the need for paint.

Sublime Ride Quality

Titanium possesses a natural elasticity that dampens road chatter while offering a 'zingy,' lively feel. This unique characteristic provides unparalleled comfort on long rides without compromising stiffness or power transfer.

Unmatched Durability

Built to last a lifetime, titanium frames boast an excellent fatigue life. They withstand countless miles and the rigors of the road, proving to be an enduring investment that will accompany you on every adventure.

The Perfect Choice for Coastal Cycling

Cycling in a salt-air environment presents unique challenges to traditional bicycle frames. While our steel frames are meticulously treated for superior corrosion resistance, titanium requires no such measures. It is naturally immune to the pervasive salt spray and humidity of coastal life.

Choosing a custom titanium frame ensures your investment remains pristine and beautiful for decades, performing flawlessly even in the most demanding conditions. Enjoy a truly low-maintenance experience, especially with a raw titanium finish that celebrates the material itself.

The Art of the Finish

While a titanium frame can be painted to match your vision, many discerning riders choose to celebrate the material itself with a timeless raw finish.
