Absolutely gorgeous. Titanium truly is the best looking of all bike materials. I'm waiting on my own custom Ti road frame right now and I can't wait to receive it and build it up in the next few weeks.
Dear Tobias! If that wasn't obvious (for some)... You are getting trough a transformation from "home bike machanic" to respected bike expert, with a huge community behind your back. Thanks for that and the work you do! Pease!
Sheesh. Now i want a new custom. But since my last custom bike in steel in 2017 the price hike and currency exchange has honestly made the cost increase like 40%. It's crazy.
Almost completely speechless, what an awesome bike this is going to be. The design and build quality is amazing. Hats off to You and the builders. Would be interested in cost, though I know it is beyond my reach. Worth every bit. Perhaps Slayer of Grams and Yen! 🤣 Thanks for sharing and Good Luck! 😉
Very nice - so you finally got your titanium bike. In my opinion the best material for a bike (ride Ti race and gravel bike). You don’t have to worry about anything and it has class!!
The frame you have Mr RofJ is, well - beautiful. A real piece of art, a true credit to the skill of the builder. The finish, joints and the carbon seat tube matching the forks its just awesome. It has to the best looking bike in the inter-twit to date. Can't wait for the build video to come out. Nice cap btw.
The frame looks gave me goose bumps. So fck exquisite. The elephant in the room was the cost. I can tell at a glance that I can't afford it, but please, tell us.
I had a US frame builder build my Ti frame two years ago. I absolutely love this bike. Wish I would have chosen the custom route many years ago because I would have saved a fortune by not buying all the other carbon off the shelf bikes that I never really liked after a few thousand miles of riding them. That bike of yours is beautiful and I don't care what you paid, from what I can see it was worth it.
I saw the equilibrium logo and thought 'I didn't know Genesis did a Ti version. Wonder how it compares to my steel version.' Disappointed lol Gorgeous frameset. Lucky lad
I normally don't fancy fancy frames (no pun intended) but returning to you channel I immediately smelled something special goes on. Also checked on frame builder - there's quite a story behind, worth separate reading on how he came where he stands now.
A lot of people might think it's ridiculous to spend this kind of $$ on a bike, but the same people will drop 50K+ on a car to get from point a to point b. Without a question, I would rather have a bling bike. I can't wait to see this thing built up. Your video editing is a work of art on a work of art.
Absolutely beautiful frame 😍 I saved some weight by changing tubeless tires to normal GP5000 and Pirelli SmarTube - as a bonus, they keep pressure very long time. The backup SmarTUBE is 35gr, milk + tubeless repair kit is 3x heavier
What a frame and craftsmanship. Absolutely stunning. The whole build. Was looking into a custom steel or titanium build for a long time myself, until I coincidentally came across the Time ADHX - now my first CF frame. I think there may be quite a few similarities with the geometry - wonder how they would compare. Awesome videos - keep ‘em coming pls.
Such a beauifull bike, and that's comming from someone who isn't a fan of the titanium look, but man would I be scared to ride it, all my bikes are full of scratches!
Amazing bike. I was on the fence about custom steel, was going to take a brazing class next week but once I ran the costs of travel to Berlin...hotel and everything else that went into and then there was an issue about getting the frame ED'd, paint along with some of the tubesets....well lets just say that I didn't exactly go with the "Slayer of grams" approach but eagerly waiting for my new Rodeo Labs Flaanimal...only reason I mention this is it too has a carbon seattube, but on a steel frame. I just wanted something with tons of character, and I feel that frameset delivers. This one is just next level for sure! The builder seems a bit modest with geeking out over the tubesets, I would obsess over them....and I do!
Passoni is at the top of custom ti frame building. It is the only Italian bike I like. I love the attention to details in every joint by sanding and their seamless smoothing so the tubes don't look welded together. I'm not sold on the 3D printed parts builders are starting to use in frame building, I think time will tell us how well that tech works out to be. I wish I could get Passoni to make me a titanium fork for my Ti frame but they only do it for their own frames.
@@charlesmansplaining Hi Charles…yes mate, fully agree…I have a couple of Passoni’s & a Legend (Bertoletti…previously head builder at Passoni)…too true re the 3D stuff…
Gorgeous bike, and custom made . Well done ! Could you advise on removing the Deda logo and paint from a Deda Superleggera seatpost? I would like it to be just plain carbon, and maybe a Matt finish clear coat if nessesary ? Thanks, Dave
Judging from the opening montage, you really must be "feeling good" right about now eh? ;D What a thing of beauty! 1373?! Ohhhhhhhh so close to a 1337 frame!!!
according to weight Winnies this should fit your dura ace. RISK Titanium Alloy Rear Derailleur Rotation Shaft Fixing Screw Road R8000 Bicycle Transmission Shaft Fixed UT Turn Point Bolt. not 100% but check it out
Nice, I especially like the mix of carbon and titanium. How is the carbon seat tube attached to the top tube/seat stays? Is it just glued or is there some other form of fixing?
Oh that intro with the music - SO GOOD! Looking forward to watching the rest tomorrow. Good night from Australia 🦘..... (Next day) .... The geometry looks just right for me as well! Love the final scenes too.

Definitely not much expertise from me, I leave that to the real experts like Vlad (Equilibrium) 😁
But cheers! 🙌
@@ridesofjapan Your humbleness and your work speaks for itself, but that's part of the picture as well... 👌🙌
Be careful parasocialising youtubers.
Welcome to the world of Ti.
This is a piece of art. I'm a big fan of TI bikes. I ride a Lynskey GR250 and love it.
Incredible! Can’t wait for the ride report! Great job!
Can't wait to see the full build! :)
This intro is real porn!
For a cyclist and for a welder 😀
Lovely work Mr. RoJ 👍
Without doubt the best ‘dream build’ UA-cam film I’ve ever seen! The frame is stunning! Congrats to all involved!
Absolutely beautiful frameset,the workmanship is excellent,im sure it wasn't cheap.Enjoy the new ride.💯👌🏻👌🏻
This guy absolutely killed it! Wow, what an unbelievable bike.
Hat tipped!
WOW! Thanks for sharing the experience RoJ - Vladimir of Equilibirum Cycleworks is a custom frame Magician!

Still riding my 20+ year old ti frame with oval top tube. Very cool!
Why not a custom weightweenie TI seat topper for the emonda ?
Every time I see a new video in my notifications I immediately check it and never get disappointed. Keep it going frame looking gorgeous ❤❤
Nice. I love my opera palladio ti/carbon, but it's not custom.
Vert very cool can't wait to it finished and sailing down a mountain
Yeah that ti carbon hybrid action is the business
Very nice - so you finally got your titanium bike. In my opinion the best material for a bike (ride Ti race and gravel bike). You don’t have to worry about anything and it has class!!
That is beautiful. That is one hell of a forever bike.
Your latest carbon builds have been awesome but this is next level. Metal FTW.
Gorgeous frame. Looking forward to full build.
Fantastic, very jealous
more beautiful than any full carbon bike

Absolutely stunning frame, I've never seen anything like it before! Every custom touch to it is just right. I'll take one!

Absolutely stunning. ❤
That's an incredible frame, with the carbon sear-tube 😮.
I really like the carbon seat tube/mast. Beautiful frame, all the details look spot on.
That is one beautiful frame!
I would be happy with the same but using a good steel.
the fixed seat post is a little odd.
Commencing 🤤 drooling!
Looking very nice will be great to see it built-up and see how much it weighs👍😊
Fantastic production, as always I was pleased to watch. Dude should do commercials.
that's bikeporn in its purest form!
❤ and not envious obvs. Just home from listening to the BB on my 2013 Madone creaking into my soul 😢...

money means nothing to a trust fund kid- it means a lot to someone who actually works for a living
@@laszlozoltan5021 obviously, but who is this trust fund kid you speak of?
Damn, this one is gorgeous... I knew that "Slayer of Grams" would pop up/strike again somewhere... :)
That letters add some weight, though!)
Unbelievably beautiful frame.
If I ever need to sell a something I hope I can hire you as videographer!
Very nice 👌 looking forward to build video
Massive compliments for the builder!

Bloody lovely. Such a simple but artistic livery with a seamless mix of materials and tube shapes. 👌
Frame looks 🔝😍! Sub 6.8 Ti disc is serious business, I know 😅. Can‘t wait to see it in action. And yes, welcome to thr Ti side of the force.

Nice!
Wow 🤩

@@ridesofjapan thanks !
Very nice bike! I just received a Moots Vamoots CRD also custom Geo and I am in love.
Question, how tall are you?
Cheers mate!
I’m 183cm. Enjoy you new steed 👍
@@ridesofjapan Thanks :)
Crazy that it's only ~230g heavier than an Emonda SLR frame!
230g? I wish, but that’s a bit optimistic :)
Amazing amazing frame! Beautiful finishing, love the details and the logo colouring. Can't wait to see you whip around on it :)
The screws on the head badge look so "cheap", off the shelf products. The rest of the bike is on another level! Congratulations
I didn't know Reynolds made ti tubing. I love my Reynolds steel frame.
Cool looking frame, the build progress is much anticipated!

Wow, certainly a one-of-a-kind frame. Looking forward to seeing the fully build up and your ride impressions. Enjoy.
So nice bike and intro! Just build the damn thing, we all want to see it ready! :)
Your music link doesn't redirect me to the correct link.
Congrats anyway!
Your videos are honestly the ones I am most looking forward to watching. Keep it up :)
WHAT a FF-ing beautiful bike, just WOW!!!!!!!!
Nice, I especially like the mix of carbon and titanium. How is the carbon seat tube attached to the top tube/seat stays? Is it just glued or is there some other form of fixing?
Definitely bike porn. It may get reported.
Hambini is watching it on his wide screen TV.
What a beauty!
Oh that intro with the music - SO GOOD! Looking forward to watching the rest tomorrow. Good night from Australia 🦘..... (Next day) .... The geometry looks just right for me as well! Love the final scenes too.
Stunning but I’d really want the fork to match that carbon weave on that seat tube! Can’t see past that sorry would drive me nuts?!

slayer of donuts 🤣, awesome machine well done!
I immediately flagged the images as inappropriate 😂😂
Really sweet! But please have a topper made from darimo and save a ton of weight!
Should have call it Slayer of Carbon Bikes.
You are a crazy man, can't wait for the next video!!!!!
LOVE IT!
Those bolts on the headtube instantly bothered me, should have been hex key bolts at least
Now THAT ..... IS a beautiful bike !!~
🤘🏼
That is hands down the most beautiful ti frame set I've ever seen...truly as work of art.
That is unreasonably beautiful, good grief! 😍
Wooow beautiful 🙏👍💪🔥🇵🇷💯
