Moulton Titanium bicycle

This is a Moulton made in titanium. It was made by One-Off. Only one example exist in the world and it is part of the Embacher collection (of weird bicycles).

Moulton bicycles are small wheeled full suspension bicycles. In 2017 they released the SST model. If you are interested in an SST build blog I suggest you visist the Moulton SST build blog about a guy building up his new Moulton SST bicycle.

Prototype Onza titanium cast Hi output cranks

Word on the street is some people are still hoping these cast titanium cranks will come out. Onza was once one of the coolest brands in the industry. They sponsored the Yeti race team, Herbold and many other teams while coming up with all kind of cool things you had to have and then they disappeared and the logo showed up on weird trials bikes in UK. These titanium cranks where never released, many tried to make a reliable titanium crank even years after Onza HO cranks failed and horror stories of broken titanium cranks just riding along on a road bike still shocks the industry.

Moots Smoothie

This is a Moots Smoothie. It is a titanium full suspension frame. This particular bike has an interesting choice of handlebars and saddle and an interesting setup of those.

Litespeed Machette

This is a vintage Litespeed Machette DH bike made out of titanium. What makes this frame unique is the flat ovalized top and down tube. Litespeed has made many ugly bikes especially during the later years but I sort of like the look of the Machette especially with the cool carbon fiber HED downhill wheels.

Morati Titanium mountainbike and components

Morati was a European titanium frame and component manufacturer. They where most famous for their titanium cranks that got a bad reputation for cracking. Even though the cranks are known for cracking in major ways they still fetch up to 1000 dollars on Ebay (in not cracked form). Bike above is a Morati extraordinarie build with Morati frame (that was also sold under the Sunn brand), cranks, forks stem/handlebar combo and seatpost. Also, notice that it has a Rohloff internal geared hub (that probably weights as much as the frame alone).
