I bought a chinese made titanium frame in 2009 made by a make named Tor. I couldn't find anything out about them since buying the frame. I've been riding this frame ever since, we've traveled over 28 countries together and the bike remains beautiful. Sadly last year I was hit by a car and it now has a dent but the geometry remains perfect. When/if I ever earnt a decent wage I would get a bike just like this one you're showing, its fantastic for just about everything.

I thought you might want to know. Aluminium corrosion increases dramatically when it comes in contact with titanium, zirconium etc. Would consider adding plenty of lube or some sealant to avoid bate metal to metal contact of those aluminium screws with your titanium frame.

Keep in mind that engraved head tube, logos and anodising are added extras. Plus shipping has gone up due to less flights for the cheaper EMS shipping option. Barring that, I've just approved my drawings and started fabrication for a couple more Waltly frames. Can't fault their quality, customer service and quick turnaround. 😁

Hi , I just got a gravel ti frame made from Waltly last week . Is better that you know exactly what you want so that they understand you well, anyway no worries if you are not that technical, they will be happy to give suggestion and advise to suit your need . Amy ( the sweet girl whom I booked my order from ) is very patient and a great person to deal with! Prices that I paid for the frame & carbon fork , including shipment to Singapore is US$1030.

My understanding is that the "legendary ride feel of titanium" has more to do with the tube choice and wall thickness in specific spots (butting). I have a 90's titanium Kona MTB and am going to be getting a Litespeed titanium gravel bike in a few weeks. I am interested to see if I can feel a difference. Some will say that the reason the Waltly is so cheap is because you're not getting the thoughtful design that leads to that magic carpet ride that is described about the material. I will say, if you have the knowledge to design your frame with all that special magic built into it and tell Waltly exactly what you want, I'm sure you can get close. In the end, I think the main selling points of the material are longevity of the material, no paint or corrosion to worry about and the aesthetics. Thank you for making this video and good on you for going through that process. Cheers!

According to one Sheldon Brown’s article (Upgrading Older Road Bicycles), before 1970, road bikes (especially European) were designed to be more springy, particularly the front forks. The front forks will have gradually thinner walls as the fork diameters reduce toward the bottom. But all this changed when road bikes became popular with American baby boomers during early 1970’s. Fearing lawsuits from “casual” riders, road bikes started to be over designed and become stiffer.

I agree. I had a 1998 Litespeed Vortex that weighed 1280 grams with relatively small diameter tubing all over and 1" fork steerer and it had the Titanium flexy springy feel (which I like, as I raced on Vitus 979 Carbone 3 in the 80's). I got a Waltly done with a big tapered headtube, a fat 42mm downtube and much higher cross-section (not double-butted) tubing all over. It weighs 1650 grams with ISP and it rides much more like a modern stiff carbon frame than that Ti flying carpet ride (which is not good or bad but very different).

Bike frame material etc is miles below placebo effect. Tires, spokes lacings, handlebars flex seat flexible bring way more significant deflection ability than flexibility that comes from the frame. We did a fun experiment with different bike frames that we padded and wrapped from road frames from 80s through MTB bikes from 90s and then modern road frames from 2004. Tested on rather rough road an a bit of a packed forest trail we only managed to gather 32 bikes and 15 participants and aside from one old MTB frame the results for ride comfort were all over the place. I wouldn't put much into gospels about frame flex (aside from top level pros and their bottom bracket abuse) or vibration dampening of frames unless you go to dangerous extremes of weight savings or crazy geometries. Head tube angle is the most sensitive parameter you can alter to change ride characteristics. As for the rest focus on contact points with the body and the terrain that's where flex and vibration damping is orders of magnitude bigger than frame materials.

The price was for $2,700 U.S. & the shop owner wanted it out of his shop for an even $2,000 but 2 grand for just frame alone 10 yrs ago was too steep for me. But this company I admire what they do.

Dwayne, Seven frames are on a completely different level. They do extensive butting of their tubes and design the frame for rider weight and bike load. Though the material used is the same, there are many factors that go into what makes the bike and how it feels. I wish I could find a brand new Seven for that price. You missed a steal of a deal.

Good question. There's lots of 'good' cheap stuff, but it is also sometimes a roll of the dice. (See Trace Velo's latest video) I think seatposts are a lot less likely to fail just because of the way the forces are loaded into them, and it's essentially a straight tube - very hard to mess up. But a handlebar definitely requires something stronger. I have a review of 'The One' on my channel which I got along with very well. I'm currently using the 'Zero' from Winspace; it's not cheap, but it's ridiculously strong.

I'm planning to create a new bike brand where the designs are based on all season all surface riding... The best I could come up with for now was Titanium bike 700c with Cyclocross Geometry, with short travel mountain bike forks, and a 2x setup, hard air suspension 30mm travel seat post, and max tires width 50mm. Both suspensions lockable and adjustable. How close am I? Any tips? Can you help out with the prototype builds? P.S. Your build is an inspiration btw, damn!

Being same height and similar build, your numbers would be very helpful to me who has no idea about bike geometry.

Sir may I know what is the full specification of your bike?

why didn't you get them to make a titanium fork to match ?
@ChinaCycling4 жыл бұрын
Personally I think carbon is a better fork material, but I've never tried a Ti fork, so... who knows!
@kc37184 жыл бұрын
is not, by the same logic a carbon frame better than a ti one then ? I've used , ti and steel forks for over 20-25 years, and carbon ones for only 13. I know which ones look best for the longest out of the three, but hey it's a throw away society these days with fashion more cause for changing things than utility.

eeeyyy finally! good to hear the bike worked out great for you! Might just go for a frame, once I build up my budget winspace dream build, I'll have a spare bike, so might as well move those 6700 ulte components to a commuter/city riding bike? hmmm. to go full custom or not hmmm.

@@ChinaCycling bike, what looks like yours =)) I did bikefit before making drawing. I was very surprised when I saw that my drawing was almost 1 in 1 in size like Enigma Escape between 50 and 52 size.. I want a versatile bike for the road, light gravel and bikepacking for long distance trips and marathons. I hope everything works out as I intended.

@@ChinaCyclingA fork bought from Carbonda, model 606. They sent it to Waltley's office to send it all together in one box fith frame.Carbonda is a very famous brand, makes many frames and forks for expensive brands like Ridley, Thesis and Vitus, etc. I am 100% sure of the quality and the cost came out cheaper.

Great video, content, visuals, audio, clarity, & tutorials. I didn't hear or see if you actually test rode the " Canyon " bike you used for a reference. Im looking forward to more content & definitely subscribing.

The question I have is how do I get a less weight on my hands.
