We talk with Daryl Roberts, an ex-Titus Cycles employee that now works as a small hand builder called Form Cycles out of Sedona, AZ.
Here, Daryl gives us some information about this Ti 29er, built with the BB30 spec and oversized head tube.
From their website:
“FORM was created to connect a passionate community of cyclists to a customized ride, utilizing proven materials like Titanium and steel, with proven designs. By offering custom geometry, oversized head tubes, BB30, handcrafted seat/chain stays, and artistic design, FORM bikes are built to maximize the life of your investment with exceptional fit and superior function.”

This bike handles like a 26″ and rolls through the most technical terrain out there! It feels a few pounds lighter than my full XTR 853 which is 24.5lbs. Can’t wait to rock this bike for the rest of the season!

Finally!!! I’m reall glad to see that someone took the plunge. That’d be how I’d build a 29er rocket.

is handling like a 26″ wheel bike the holy grail of 29″ wheel bikes?

That 29′er looks awesome, I might just have to make an Arizona trip and try one out, I’ve been looking for a bike that was all about form and function with out all the gimmic’s some current manufactures like to add to there bikes. With the roll over and clearance/ climbing abilities of a 29′er thats light enough to flick around like a 26′er would be the best of both worlds. Good luck you guys.
