That is the most beautiful bike I've ever seen. Love at first sight. And second. And third.

[@TwistedWheels]

Thanks! 😄

[@kieftoker]

That's like the sickest bike on KZbin

[@TwistedWheels]

@@kieftoker thanks man

[@KOL630]

Beautiful machine. I have met Tom and seen one of his bikes in my local shop as he lives in the same town. They truly are lovely!

[@cb6866]

Ok Oleg...I know its not Christmas yet , but , please ??? And , that is a work of art , you and Tom have something special there , truly . Thank you

[@TwistedWheels]

Thanks, man!

[@cb6866]

@@TwistedWheels I want to do this to a MTB Wheels first ? Your vids are amazing !! Thanks again

[@ekrano]

Beautiful bike. That is very light for a Ti bike.

[@FelipeTadeu-ky5iy]

some yellow bar tape to match the tires would also look amazing

[@Debarkadere]

Wow! Congrats Oleg, that's just another level - all these custom decisions implemented are fascinating!

[@TwistedWheels]

@@Debarkadere thank you, my friend 👊🏼

[@akononov]

Nice TW touch on the frame 🤙

[@TwistedWheels]

Thanks bro! There is also LDO written on the back of the seatpost :) I’m glad I didn’t go for OLD 😂

[@akononov]

@@TwistedWheels noticed that too! Fancy! It is OLD if you read it anti clockwise 🫶🏻

Tis a thing of beauty

You made titanium bike to another level good job bro 🎉

[@grantmartin829]

So good. I love the look and the functionality. Another masterpiece…

[@TwistedWheels]

Thanks mate 👊🏼

[@maddoc68]

Lightbicycle is the rim/ wheel brand of my choice. Have three different wheelsets from them and each one is absolutely flawless!

[@TwistedWheels]

Agree. Best value/quality for money!

Thanks 👊🏼

[@timur-pusan]

Вау!!! Круто получилось👍и красивый и прочный и легкий 🙌 Мой шоссер тармак-7 столько же весит как твой титановый . Супер👏😉

[@TwistedWheels]

Спасибо! Вес, считаю, достойный, если учесть что это гравийник с шоссейными колесами.

[@jonhcosta]

Perfect machine ❤🚲

[@x3631]

beautiful!

[@festerofest4374]

Bad-ass and beautiful!! I have come to expect nothing but the coolest builds on this channel!

[@TwistedWheels]

Thanks! Stay tuned there are more sick builds coming this year 👊🏼

[@kawabus]

So good! And I thought the build would come in a second video, and you delivered. Such a good looking bike 🚴✨✨

[@TwistedWheels]

Thanks man

[@PrzemK]

Hands down best custom bikes and straight up my style, dream bike right here.

My dream bike, light and timeless ❤

[@julianallen515]

Beautiful build. I have a pair of Speedplay Pave's which I got to use at Paris-Roubaix sportif this year,. Great in the mud. Really disappointed that the stem isn't available on the Sturdy website but I guess it must be to order only.

[@TwistedWheels]

Drop Tom Sturdy an email

[@neilk22]

Magnetically attached bike bags is genius on Ti 😆 I’ve frame wrapped my crux in clear tape so that my straps don’t grind the frame on gravel. Bike packing on a crux is phenomenal btw

[@TwistedWheels]

They are actually not magnetic ;)

[@charlesblithfield6182]

I’d like to see you build the ultimate maneuverable lightweight urban bike, maybe folding but not necessarily, with a mini velo frame and 406 wheelset.

[@sawc7012]

Wow! Bike looks amazing!! Do you happen to know why the steerer tube isn’t titanium?

[@lilithstrange]

i would have gone with black sidewalls.

[@chrisjones6699]

Incredible. You could make these videos twice as long and we would love it! I’m not sure about the yellow tyre walls though. I would choose black or grey 😉

[@TwistedWheels]

@@chrisjones6699 had both on my previous titanium bike and prefer tan. But both look good!

[@festerofest4374]

I like the yellow….. it’s a little different. I have a red frame and now those tires got me thinking about how good red and yellow look together.

[@dcv9460]

Awesome Dream Build! 💯 How much is the total cost of the build? If you don't mind me asking =)

[@zaphod_beeblerox]

fuck yeah!

[@jlchua]

Best

[@mfa81]

Hope you are better than me mounting those strada bianca tires 😂

[@TwistedWheels]

Haha, Challenge tires always stand up for their name, but I’ve used them on several builds now, so found the approach :)

[@Panagiotis-Skordilis]

Titanium forever !!! (even if i own carbon :P)

[@TwistedWheels]

Haha 🤘🏼

[@howlinhauler]

i need this frame with a bosch SX motor?

[@MaksymilianSleziak]

What is your experience with Light Bicycles AR25 rims with inner tubes and 32 mm tires? Any issues with hybrid hooks?

[@TwistedWheels]

No issues

[@TwoTroutCreations]

Twisted Wheels x Sturdy?!?!?!!!?!?!! My goodness that is one stunner of a bike my friend. Well done. What size frame? Just curious if we are the same dimensions haha

[@TwistedWheels]

Thanks! Roughly 56cm, there is a photo of geometry in the video ;)

[@TwoTroutCreations]

@@TwistedWheels well heck yea! Whenever I visit I can ride your bikes lol

[@binkzera2777]

Sturdy bikes are dreamy, although I am a bit disappointed you didn't go for all the titanium finishing kit they offer

[@TwistedWheels]

The only thing I didn’t buy was the chainring and the handlebars.

[@binkzera2777]

​​@@TwistedWheelsAnd the brake levers, but that's only for certain groupsets. Any reason you chose not to get the chainring and handlebars? (is it just for clip on bars?) That ti handlebar is so good looking

[@TwistedWheels]

@@binkzera2777I’m answering these questions in the video ;)

[@Fatbutnotflat]

Not everyday we witness something like this. May i ask , the costs? Frame fork only, and everything? 😬 Also i would say an ultradynamico cava 33c tyre would just look absolutely amazing here.

[@TwistedWheels]

Thanks. Pls check the cost on sturdycycles.co.uk Re Cava, I actually have Ultradynamico for my 650B wheels in black with tan walls ;)

[@Fatbutnotflat]

@@TwistedWheels sweet!

[@sebi6ful]

Maybe I missed it, but what is the weight of the frame only?

[@backyard_bicycless]

1:52

[@kitka1990]

Out of curiosity - what's the final cost?

[@zeref783]

> 11k

@@DiegoHorchata I’d like to see you go for the offroad bikepacking on your Tarmac 😆

Print titanium parts. Hire welder on fivver.

Let me know how it goes! :)

[@Saladh_Olivier]

Tan walls look meh on that bike, black ones would've been better IMO.

[@TwistedWheels]

Work for me!

[@endtimeslips4660]

i did a lot on my titanium frame. at the end it not as fast as carbon one.

[@TwistedWheels]

Don’t think you can apply labels like “fast” and “slow” to frame materials without taking into account all other factors and parts.

[@endtimeslips4660]

@@TwistedWheels interestingly i try the same component. only minor like crankset is different because one use BB30 one use Shimano 24. but both use 50-34 and cassette 32 it still mystery but probably i think it is about aerodynamic and geometry. TI frame in long run in some case it feel need more energy to keep fast and it will does feel heavier when accelerate, contrary with the carbon it feel more agile and more superior in acceleration. for comfort it almost identical minus for TI make my body more tired, shock damping not really much different yes it feel more soft for micro bump but for heavy broken road both are helpless TI carbon both are rough in bad road. i compare this thing for both my old Carbon from pardus and the TI is from litespeed. the only thing i love about TI i can load a lot pack on it without worry break my frame and it never rust. but for performance. i say carbon still far more better.

[@TwistedWheels]

@@endtimeslips4660​​⁠not all titanium frames are the same ;) glad you found what works for you

[@aintnobodygottime4dat]

Refreshing.....I can't stand all that carbon junk!
