Titanium Bike makers

Which one do you have?

Hmm. Look nice, but it's either a road fork with tight clearances & no mudguard eyes, or a full-on touring fork with space for heavy-duty tyres, cantilever & what look like low-rider bosses, & rack as well as mudguard eyes. What I'd really like is something in between - let's call it an Audax fork. Just the mudguard eyes, please, & clearance for moderate tyres & mudguards.

€440!

Wound-Up composites in the US do precisely what you want.

Hmm. $500 or so, plus $50 for the mudguard eyes!

How about something like these instead :

I think it was titanium forkage folks were after.
I would certainly be in the market for a ti fork so long as it didn't look like 2 cyclinders joined together at the top.

Ah. Didn't see much titanium on the Wound Up Composites site, but remembered the Exotic fork looked vaguely similar for about 1/3 the price ...

Tends to be the rule, I'm afraid.

This is the Russian-made fork that Burls sells. Mudguard eyes are an option, & I think there may be some flexibility over the offset. About £300, I think.


Justin Burls will be at the Bespoked show in Bristol on June 11th-12th. You're not far from there, IIRC. Might be an opportunity to ask a few questions.

Daisyhill's new titanium tourer is luuuurvely.  Spa Cycles.  She let me ride it, and I rode up Maltby Bank on it.  Then turned round and did it again. Because I could.
