    It's been quite some time in coming but I really think it's worth been getting right. I'm really happy to introduce our first production Ti model, the Pegasus. The geometry is very similar to the well liked Swift, just with a little lower front end for a bit more racy position. The feathery weight of 1600g (3.5lbs) helps with the racy feeling as well…

    Made by Nevi in Italy from grade 9 3Al 2.5V titanium using the highest quality construction methods this frame is on or above par with any other Ti frame available. The three main tubes are butted and oversized to maintain stiffness as well as a nice ride. A sealed argon chamber is used to ensure zero contamination and perfect weld penetration. The frame carries a lifetime warranty.

    A proprietary process is also used for the downtube logo. Bronze photoengraving means the logo becomes part of the downtube, and the panel area has a 'hi-tech' finish for contrast.

    A choice of SS, geared or both is available thanks to a Phil Wood half link eccentric and whether or not you would like gear cable stops.

    Geared mode

    Singlespeed
    A bit more carbon is sending this bike sub 17lbs… A geared, suspended, light but not crazy light build will come in around 21-22 lbs.

    We are taking orders for these now for delivery in February.

    For more info see the website

    Thanks for looking, and sorry for the spam, but I thought some of you guys may like it.

    Sam thats lovely, might want a bit of sus for the forks around the Summit series though! You going to let your mate ride one or are you out to beat him NEXT year?

    normally can't bear 29rs but that one in SS mode is lovely – if I had the ££ I'd be sorely tempted!

    I think those forks go quite well, actually. Nice bike, shame I'm too much of a shortarse to fit one….

    Which would you go for, Rocketdog?

    It'll take a 100mm fork no problem, just wanted to have a rigid on fore the winter. Steve has one as well, waiting on a couple of bits to get it built.

    has the ss got carbon rims with dugast cx tubs on?

    Yes and no – they are carbon rims and Dugast tubs, just not cx ones, they are 700×45.

    The Cotics are made by Merlin not Lynskey – saw it at the London Show and it looked amazing. Thankfully they are a bit different from one another thanks to the wheelsize.

    shame I'm too much of a shortarse to fit one….

    Can do custom sizing for a small upcharge… 😉

    A Singular frame box appeared in our office this morning. Same Christian name as me as well. Not mine though and will be too big. WIll try to get a look when purchaser returns.

    Always liked the Singular frames but have to many others to get another one.

    I really like the Niner forks. Must be a Marmite thing.

    Sam, Merlin faffed and faffed, and then offered an alternative, ask Cy about it privately. Soda is now being made by Lynskey instead as they have a serious approach to doing the building, and are nice and communicative to boot.

    Still loving the copper effect downtube logo. Sweet as!

    I feel sorry for the bloke taking the picture, huddled in the argon chamber when that welding was going on.

    how strong is that bottom bracket area?. Two bolts holding it together after some time will surely weaken under tha load meaning a cracked frame??. Cant also be good for bottom bracket longevity which in the your pics doesn't seem to be sitting properly

    A nice frame but i have my reservations

    The bb is plenty strong for purpose. The shell clamps the eccentric solidly and the BB is housed within that. In any case you can choose a standard bb shell if you wish. Don't know what you mean about the bb 'not sitting properly'?

    how close is the rear wheel to the front Mech?

    Reasonably close but it fits. Depends a little on the mech.

    At a guess, a combination of the fifth photo and not understanding what the E in EBB stands for 😉

    Just googled bottom bracket EBB and now understand better what EBB means ( although dont understand fully, way to technical for me/ time consuming to understand )

    In that case, nice frame!!

    wouldn't normally comment on things like this (whether its ragley, on one etc), but i have to say, that is pretty darn stunning – not even a particular fan of the swifts tbh (purely on aesthetics).
    it looks classy, well made, a bit different and (if that figure is correct) a blummin good price all things considered. if i had £1500 i'd be saying good bye to my scandium kula 29 frame, and whacking my rohloff in one of those.

    oh, and that photo from inside the argon welder – awesome! never realised thats how its done!

    Radoggair – This picture allows you to see a EBB a bit better, the actual BBB (HT1 in this case) doesn't sit in the centre of the circle made by the frame, but offset. This means that you can twist the BB around which increases or decreases the distance between the rear axel in the wheel and the front axel in the BB.

    Sorry sam if I've hijacked.

    I do love that downtube, very understated, very sexy.

    M6 bolts have a very high load rating – they seem to quite cope well with the shear force loadings caused by disc brakes on IS mounts.

    Also, the EBB "split shell" design is perhaps the oldest system in use, having been used very successfully on tandems and single bikes for many many years.

    Good sized bolt bosses and nice welds on there would give me no worries.

    They are M8 so plenty strong enough.

    The shell is also internally butted and super stiff

    M8's? Even better.

    I remember one of my lecturers telling me an M8 bolt will hold 3 tons in tension (like that).
