The Radavist

Last week, Atherton Bikes joined the ranks of cranks: enter the premium A.GR.TI Crank ($922.46), a 3D printed titanium crankset meant to be the last one you ever buy. While the price might be high, so is the quality, workmanship, and durability. Read below for all the details.

The Sklar Bikes titanium Super Something frames have been hard to keep in stock, but the San Francisco brand just announced that a fresh batch has shown up. These frames are made in the USA by Stinner Fabrication to the Sklar Bikes spec. Currently, sizes medium, medium/large, and large frames are in stock ($3,200), but smalls and x-larges have sold out. Roll on over to Sklar to check out more info on these do-it-all fat tire gravel bikes.

Newly redesigned and made in No. 22’s Johnstown, NY facility, the new Non-Integrated Titanium Stem offers a blingy upgrade for any non-integrated bicycle…

Tom from the UK’s Sturdy Cycles has been one of the catalysts for framebuilders to adopt 3D printing technologies. He helped Prova Cycles develop its titanium fork and produced some of the nicest bikes at the previous years’ Bespoked UK showcases. And of course, you remember Petor’s Sturdy, right? Last year, Tom let John in on a little secret at Bespoked: that he was working on moving to Sturdy Cycles to CNC milling.

Computer numeric control allows Tom to work entirely in-house on his components and frame parts. The fruits of his labor are beginning to be presented in the Sturdy Cycles webshop with his stunning CNC-milled crankarms ($1,096, ~560g) and seatpost ($411, ~215g) hitting the shelves. While they fetch a pretty penny, the cranks are available in 150 through 180 mm lengths and are TIG-welded in-house.

All we can say is we’re stoked to see what Sturdy brings to London for Bespoked this spring. Check out more at Sturdy Cycles.

Forbidden Bikes are known for their carbon high-pivot mountain frames. But they’ve now expanded to the rigid realm with two interesting new models. Both are titanium, both use Forbidden’s “One Ride” whole-body approach to geometry, and both will be produced in limited numbers. The Puritan is a gravel-inspired ATB designed specifically for flat handlebars and a 60 mm stem. The Heathen is a hardtail built around a moderate 130 mm fork, but aggressive 64° head angle. Let’s dive into the details…

Merlin was the first bicycle brand to deliver titanium mountain bike frames. The brand itself is one of lore to be told another day, but its contributions to the world of off-road bicycles are ones that still resonate with our readership. Stephen shared with us his 1992 (ish) Merlin, which he converted to a drop-bar ATB for this week’s Readers’ Rides. Let’s take a closer look…

Stridsland just announced a pre-order for the titanium chassis of its lauded Beachcomber. Are you ready for your 26″-wheeled, short wheelbase era, like Tay? Filled with endless curb jibs and responsive riding? Now, offered in a frame material that’s a couple of hundred grams lighter than the OG steel frameset?  The titanium Beachcomber pre-order pricing starts at $2,315, and the bikes are slightly updated from the previous version. This includes a slightly stiffer titanium fork, better brake caliper clearance, 45º forward-facing triple cage mounts, a size XS (46 cm), and a lightly longer size S (50 mm) to make room for the XS.

If you’re looking to dust off ye olde fat bike this winter and want to change up the front fork from stiff carbon to some flex without sacrificing weight, check out the Ti Cycles TiFat fork, which is discounted right now to $650 from $900.
