oops, its hard sometimes; i'm a sales manager in the construction industry, bikes are my hobby (well one of them)
i have definite ideas about the way i want things to work.
that i sell some just means i wanted to share the experience with a select group of discerning, highly intelligent...
hmmm, sounds like carbon is sorted out with these forks:
about how much forward/backward flex can you get at the axle by rocking the bike hard on a hard floor with the front brakes on?
i use 560gm, titanium, disc specific forks that will flex 50mm/2" back and forth
thrashed and raced by 3...
That description is me and the two guys I got to test the prototypes for a year. All 3 of us are aggressive and all weigh 90-110kg. We rode them hard as hell in completely rigid setups and if that didn't break them, only a jump rider will do it on some big air; not a cross country rider just...
I would never laim to know how a stranger rides but those sliding mounts are titanium with titanium bolts: if he can break those in any normal riding, I'd probably buy him a beer and hire him as a test rider
It might be out of price range but I very much doubt he'd wreck it.
I'm 96kg and have a reputation as a wrecking yard but I haven't managed to kill the prototype in 2 years of serious abuse.
Carbon might be lighter but Ti is for life.
Moderators note:
you are welcome to fill us in in general on your frames, but if you want to sell, please do so via a classified ad instead of listing them in this forum as you did.
Many thanks for your understanding.

We built my wifes "Bad News" frame up with the Shimano Alfine 8 speed hub and it's run without a hitch for a year now in rough stuff, mud and sandy tracks.
I tried to convert her to the dark side but she just refuses to let go of the gears thing.
I have a couple of Ti SS frames available, see photos of my 2 frames here :

The 'newsboy is called "Bad News" and the regular frame is called "Assassin"
The name and my brand name are tastily etched onto the frames rather...
It's my own design and these are the prototypes.
After a year thrashing them to death we settled on a few modifications and contracted a factory to make it (some of the big names use the same factory: M....., L......... etc
Can be 26" or 29" by sliding the dropouts back and forth...
