It has a titanium frame. Many thanks to Ben Witt at Milltown Cycles for all his help. We now have Australia's only 36" mountain bike and possible the worlds only Titanium 36er.

Inventions & new desings require new appraoches to solve the quirks. A Shimano Alfine 8 speed rear hub , with a 3 cog cassette , chained to a Schlumpf High/Low bottom bracket & the regular double 39/53 Crank , will make any hills , up or down , very easy to pedal. 96 gears will work.

I have not seen a buckled rim yet, and the uni guys use them off road all the time. I am thinking that the rim brake idea is a good one but i just hate them so discs will be on the one i am building here in australia. See you on the bike....
