Wittson titanium track frame set for sale
Price: £500 +£20 postage
Includes Planet-X seat post, cheap headset and Cheap 107mm or 110 bb to get it rolling.
HISTORY
A custom made Wittson titanium frame from around 1999.
This is a custom frame made for a track cyclist who used it on the track.
About Wittson Custom TI Cycles (info from wittson.com):
Already well known as a frame-builder for COLNAGO, Vidmantas “Vitas” Zukauskas has been building best-selling frames from the mid-90s, going by the names Monotitan, Ovaltitan, Ovalmaster, Master BiTitan, CT1, etc. These works of master craftsmanship are broadly recognized and their quality speaks for itself. As COLNAGO moved on to Asia and carbon frame production, Vitas continued to specialize in ti frame building for other brands, including ARGON18, RED BULL, VAN TUYL etc. Over time, Vitas has become more and more well known as a master in ti frame building with worldwide orders from cyclists that value craftsmanship. His son has become involved in ti frame building and they have embarked on a new journey with WITTSON. These are bespoke tailor-made frames built to last a lifetime.
ABOUT THIS FRAME
This frame is made from titanium aero over sized tubing and is very light.
Supplied with ISAAC 004 carbon fork with alloy steerer (front brake compatible).
28c tire clearance makes this frame perfect for an urban single speed or fixed gear bike.
WEAR & DAMAGE
It is in very good condition with some minor scuffs and scratches here and there.
Only one very minor ding on the left seat stay near the "rear bridge". I tried my best to show it in pics but it's hardly noticeable.
Some paint has come off around the crown of the forks and drop outs (please see pics).
