This is what happened when I combined a road titanium frame and my old Dutch bike. It rides like a cyclocross bike, but carries your stuff (and keeps your clothes tidy) like a city bike. It's also strong as hell, with handbuilt wheels on mountain bike parts, and with fat 38mm tires, it eats potholes and never gets flats. Have too many bikes; am getting old and ride my sit-up bike more and more. Looking for tall fast rider for this one. Some of the many features: * Titanium frame 68cm (yes!) * Carbon fork * Porteur front rack, frame-mounted * Single speed with full chain-case, 38 x 16 * Disc brakes (Avid BB7), new pads * Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires, 700x38 (no flats, ever) * Mavic A319 wheels (bomber) * Shimano XT756 hubs (bomber) * Full fenders * Custom handlebar for city riding, 'heads up' and 'go fast' hand positions both with brake levers at the fingertips * 135mm rear spacing, can convert to gearhub (even Rohloff) Parts on the rest of the bike vary widely, but are easy to swap out to suit your taste. "snowflake" decals can be peeled off if bare metal is more your taste.

Installing a Rohloff hub on a bike with the OEM slotted-style dropouts? Buy my used axle plate and save. Used six years, some surface discoloration.

Used brake disk off a Rohloff gearhub. You know if you want it. Some discoloration from road grime. Could use a good scrub. Very little wear though, almost full thickness.

Recently disassembled two wheels to swap rims and spokes around. Sadly this left me without use for $90 of beautiful, top of the line, triple butted 13/16/14g stainless spokes. I know used spokes aren't a hot ticket, but if you are building up a wheel and the choice is between new straight-gauge and these... you will get much better results with these. There are 36 - 32 used, 4 new. Size is 254mm. Make me an offer?
