    £7149 for a full build or £4000 for a frameset, that'll save anyone googling the price.

    Just got off Reilly's website to get a good look at the welds. Moots is in no danger of obsolescence, but wow, the price differences are HUGE. Internal cabling on a gravel bike seems over the top, but it is a very clean look indeed (as Dave would say.) Look at the welds and compare them to Moots'. Then decide if you want to pay more for 'double pass' welding. Beautiful rigs, but if you ride a Moots as I do, you'll notice the welding.

      You'll also notice standard round tubes, no manipulation of the tubes, no 3d castings, no hydroforming, no folding or cold rolling. Moots have easily smudges & scuffed bead blasted finishes too. I mean, any frame builder can butcher the welds of their frames with abra-saws as Cannondale used to do in the 90s, smooth welds don't make a better riding bike.

    A lot of money and work into hydroforming but could have just perfected the welds for better execution. The welds ruined it for me considering those are the bikes on the site they chose to take pictures of. Do they sell tubing and frame build kits? They do have beautiful lines.

      I wouldn't go as far saying it is fugly, but I do think that, like most other titanium framebuilders, they do miss out on an opportunity to make the bike better looking. It seems that ti framebuilders (and bike owners) want to show to the world that the bike is made of titanium, and they do that by leaving it bare. Or brush it, or give it a bit of anodising here and there. But the bikes would look *SO* much better with a good paintjob, which could still emphasize the frame material, the workmanship and the unique features this bike has.
