RCUK Bikes Ángel García-Forcada's Crisp Titanium

I started to think about a titanium frame many months ago, as it was the only stuff that I had not tried (my other bike is steel Pegoretti). I ordered it to Darren Crisp, a builder from the United States who lives in Italy. It has resulted a comfy bike, with good absorption, almost as good as carbon, and very reliable. Perhaps not too light, but as I ought to shed some pounds from my waist that is not that important¡.
