Titanium MTB for XC Racing

[1mikemo]

I am extremely late in adding, but I built a titanium hardtail last spring with the purpose of racing single speed xc marathon events. I’ve raced the Tahoe Trail 100k, which I was geared way too heavy for, and the Barn Burner 50mi on it and absolutely love it. Compared to a carbon bike I noticed flex right away but it is comfortable and compliant instead of annoying. While a tad heavier than a carbon frame, it comes in at just under 21 lbs. with pedals, a dropper, and Renegade T5 tires.
