I ve been looking into a ti frames and i was considering lite speed or lynskey.
Waltly titanium gravel bike.
The spanky prefers that you stay seated.
No series of models can capture the range of your needs and our.
Gravel riding is the feeling of hearing nothing but the leaves crackling under your tires.
I decided i would treat myself to a new bike for my up and coming 50th birthday and thought that titanium was my best shot at beating the vibration.
I asked waltly if they d give me a discount on the exact same frame but without the couplers for my daily non travel use.
Litespeed s history has set the standard in the titanium gravel category.
And waltly did a first rate job building to match the drawings.
But after having a good experience overall with carbonda i thought i would look into a chinese titanium bicycle company.
It s those traits that have ensured it has continued to be a popular choice with cyclists wanting a fine riding bike that will last the length of time.
The 3 2 5 titanium tubes have exceptional corrosion resistance.
I d ridden my chinese carbon cyclocross bike and had received a serious pounding.
There s no way to define it.
Titanium bikes are desirable because titanium is lighter than steel and stronger than aluminium or most steel alloys.
Titanium s high fatigue resistance means a titanium bike should last forever.
The waltly bike is noticeably stiffer across the bottom bracket as the larger tubes would dictate and it nearly demands that you climb out of the saddle.
Every bike we make is custom.
Waltly was the company that came up as having some history and good reputation.
Our frames are covered by a limited lifetime warranty.
As today s gravel rider pushes the envelope we ve come to a conclusion.
I inquired with them about building a bike with geo similar to the moots routt rsl a couple hours ago so i m.
That being said there is no discernible flex in either and the low pressure tires on the titanium frameset probably mimic the flex in 20 year old butted steel.
I don t have any regrets with this frame.
Waltly titanium disc brake road race frame.
Sure a titanium bike is heavier than carbon but to me it feels like so much more of a bicycle.
I think that was the point that i decided that maybe this wasn t the best choice for the all weather daily commuter and gravel race bike.
While right now the idea of even 28s seems a little redundant with my commuter cx gravel.
Waltly has been building titanium frames using only aerospace grade seamless 3al 2 5v tubing since 2009 fulfilling custom orders for individuals as well as large oem orders for bike companies.
Maybe you want a super stiff race bike maybe you want a comfortable bike for getting lost on dirt roads maybe you want a commuter with all the bells and whistles or an all day mountain bike or something totally different.
The reason is simple.
Blast every nook and crevice with the power washers and this bike will thrive and shine not wither and rust.
Take the unknown road.
It all started in april 2017 after finishing the dirty reiver it s a 120 mile gravel event in kielder forest.
