Yes, they will be for sale, just not quite ready to let the whole cat out of the bag yet.

Just make sure you're actually making them out of titanium and not unobtanium

Great project [thumbsup]

Just a friendly word of advice if you're going to sell these. . .

talk to your agent about a minimum of a $1M liability policy.  You'll need it.

Dougs frames were about 9 ish pounds with bearing races.

Ever see either in person?

This is obviously quality work ,but pictures can lie...just sayin'.

I was wondering if the frame has been blasted or glass beaded, or if it was welded in a chamber?
wasn't there a story about one of his frames cracking?

Great job! This frame is the work of art!
But how practical is it? Titanium has a low fatigue strength and will stretch and loose it's geometry after a couple of seasons. That's what happens to NCR titanium frames - you ride for a couple of seasons then put it in your house as an example of beautiful engineering.

You mean internet bullshit?  ;)

One that crashed into a bridge ripped the tubes from the steering head.

The welds didn't fail. The material was stressed beyond it's capabilities.

I posted at the time the frame and it's welds were not designed to be crashed into a bridge abutment...I stand by that statement.
