That is a bit out of my budget, but I have friends that make ti bikes, I may call him and see if he's up for it.

It's at a crossroads on keeping or not, it's outdated and the new Cross Bikes are amazing, but I don't race Cross, and it's a gravel and mountain training bike for me anyhow.
Mike...I forgot to mention...I paid additionally to have the frame refinished and a fresh set of decals applied as well. The Ti ride is really unmatched and I felt worth the investment. If you can find a Wound Up fork, that would be a nice addition!

I wish I had the BB updated....turns out, this frame has a unique BB that only accepts Phil Wood spindle and press in bearings. Ordered the BB today....the build continues. I have a friend that was interested in my Dura Ace Fuji Roubaix SL so....plan b! Merlin is getting an Ultegra 10spd build that I had on a Scott bike with a cracked headtube, Campy Carbon Record 10 crank square taper, Mavic Open CD 4 rims, db spokes on silky smooth, old skool Shimano 600 hubs. The build continues Tuesday. I had the spindle sent 2day!
