Might as well get this over with quickly.

Commencal Absolut Ti frame, CC Aer headset, Niner rigid fork, Formula R1 brake w/ Scrub rotor, foam grips, YBN Ti chain, Next SL crankset, Maxxlite 285 tires, Tune/CX-Ray/ENVE wheels, Tune seat/post combo, Raceface bar/Syntace stem, some stupid mag/ti pedals by HT, the end. Come back when you've bought it.

this is one one the sickest frames i' ve seen even if it' s a little old... plus it looks super clean

Ti Commencal Absolut dj. 8.68kg

this build really light and it seems reasonnably solid if not bombproof ?

sorry for diggin', but this frame needed a pic.. don' t see it everywhere

It's an awesome frame and I'm definitely glad somebody stepped up to the plate and made it. I heard from one owner that the actual quality is not the greatest which is disappointing to hear.

Funnily enough actually the only other titanium hardtail (for our purposes obviously) of which I'm aware was also made by a French company - Candida. The difference is the geo was waaaaay ahead of its time in terms of chainstay length and such. Shame they seemingly went under without a trace.

commencal isn' t the best for quality controls... had 3 of their frames, absolut had crappy paint and irregular welds, horrible paint on the furious also.. i was lucky this one was straight (shock rubbing)
a chance ther is no problems with my actual supreme, just repainted it... color don' t fall of this one ^^

there is one of thoses candidas for sale in france, but i don' t know which one it is... there was also a crmo one

i' d be curious about riding one with actual components... a magazine tried it and for them it was it was purely awesome even with an oldschool and heavy build

Pretty sure 24 Bicycles had a Ti street frame aswell. Just cant remember the name of the model. They had a steel frame and that one had a limited ammount of Ti versions. At least thats how i remember it.

I can't remember if 24 did, but now that I think about it Charge did a titanium DJ frame somewhat recently. Geo looks like ass but I definitely appreciate companies messing around with different materials.

I really do love what they did with the BB.

Couldnt find a build weight but I'll say 22ish. The guy is getting RF next sl cranks and a carbon xtr race brake for it, which he says will bring it sub 20.

Frame is 3 pounds flat and is $2k special order only.

Milkshake was also doing custom ti frames for about $1200 USD if I recall. Not sure if anyone did an MTB.
