This beautiful, plush, and light Titanium bike has podiumed cross and gravel races across the midwest US. It needs a new home where it can be loved and maybe even raced again! In addition to great ride characteristics, titanium’s durable + doesn’t rust. This frame will last you a long time.
Frame: Foundry XS 3AL/2.5V Titanium Cyclocross/Gravel frame w/ in frame cable routing.
I’m 5’7” and it fits me. Effective top-tube is around 52 (see included geo chart), so fits more like bikes this size.
Fork: New Whisky #9 Carbon Fork (purchased in the past year) 12x100mm TA (provides increased tire clearance, it’s lighter, and has more vibration damping than stock Whisky Fork, but has the exact same geometry as stock Whisky fork).
Wheels: Custom built by Northern Rose Bike Shop in Minneapolis, with high engagement Northern Rose hubs, DT Swiss tubeless AL Rims, wheel weight 1400 grams. Recently serviced.
Tires: Panaracer Gravel King SK 50mm front (yup, fits a 50!), 43mm rear. Currently setup tubeless with Vittoria inserts included and new Silca sealant.
Drivetrain: SRAM AXS APEX Wireless Shifters/Hydraulic brakes. Rival AXS XPLR rear derailleur (battery and charger included). 11×44 APEX cassette on Shimano HG free hub. Sram Force 170mm carbon cranks GXP BSA. Wolftooth 42 front ring. SRAM Force Flattop Chain (recently waxed). Frame is front derailleur capable. 2 extra derailleur hangers included. All AXS parts, cassette, Wolftooth chainring, SRAM BB, and chain were built onto the frame less than a year ago and have less than 500 miles of use in only dry conditions.
Saddle: Fizik Aliante VS
Seat post and 100mm stem: Zipp Service Course SL
Handlebar: 42mm Ritchey WCS EvoCurve, wrapped in Wolftooth Supple Bar Tape (so cushy)
Full system weight w/ current setup: 20.2 lbs (there’s room to drop weight with more carbon bits if you want, but I’ve been pretty happy with it as is)
Frame Paint: There is small amount of paint rubbed off at the back side of the bottom of the head tube (hard to see without examining the bike up close and turning the wheel to the side) and on the top tube (as shown in photos). I put colored tape over the top tube missing paint areas for aesthetics, but I left one section open for you to see what it looks like without the tape. Since this is a titanium frame there is no concern about rusting.
Will ship anywhere that I can. Buyer pays shipping costs. I will pay to have the bike professionally packed and boxed for shipping at my local bike shop. I take Pay Pal only. Contact through Escape Classified messaging only.
Jesus, what a beauty. If only the frame was a tad bigger…
