i started this project a few months ago.
it began when i started to see titanium road bikes (titanium frame with carbon forks) here on BikePorn. Than i saw one live... WOW!
I started to think "why not a steel frame with a 1' 1/8 forks?"
I began to study a geometry for it. My pink cannondale helped me alot.
My pink cannondale has an internal headset. I'll set an external one on this project.
The frame is almost ready. I used a light steel tubes (too many hours diving into a pile of steel tubes trying to find the right ones) and a set of Ritchey dropouts. I like the weight of the frame. +/- 1400 gr
