This is a HT isn't it?

Yes but it's not what the OP asked for. 😆
Oops - you're right
So, this still isn't right?

That 'dialled' is very nice.
[quote=bonesetter ]Oops - you're right

Of course that's right. It's a hardtail frame that just happens to have some rigid forks on it [i]at the moment[/i].
Girlie one OK?

Three of the best?? Cove Hummer, Ragley ti and a Cotic soda. We've all changed since then, my hummer made way for a Soda.

My pride and joy 😀
Ooh!, some very nice Ti hardtails there, i've gotta blag a shot on a fat tyred jones one day, just to see if they live up to the hype. I'm sure they do which is why i feel it would be a very expensive mistake on my part to ride one.
Here's mine,
Cove Hummer wi all the ugly stickers removed.

And seeing as i've never posted an upside down pic of a bike on here before i thought i'd take liberties and post two pics, it was nice n' sunny and frosty with nae gloopy mud last thursday so i went for a ride instead of going to work in the afternoon.

Ti hard tails really seen to have gone out of 'fashion' it's great to see so many beauties here. The de-stickered hummer looks great. Don't you wish Fox had made a special coating that was ti colour, not morning after pee.

Nice... but it would bug me that the top tube is a tighter radius than the seat stay tubes!

good point. I hadn't noticed as I was too busy getting excited about the concept of a newsboy-style, belt-drive, rohloff, ti hardtail.

My recent build;

That whyte is nice but "oh my god wtf is going on with those rims, and those tyres"? No...no and no again.
I did seriously consider a Brodie Ti as that looks very nice indeed before getting the Hummer but all things considered i'm happy wi what i've got.
I could have bought a Van Nicholas cheap through work but i had reservations regarding the amount of rear tyre clearance as i like to run 2.4" fat tyres, and the twisty downtube just looks wrong, and if i'm being picky the rear dropouts with their fussy cloverleaf design put me off as well. `
Sorry wwaswas 🙁
[i]Sorry wwaswas [/i]
don't be - I only paid £100 for the frame.
d45yth - nice to see another Litespeed. 8)
I take it all back, for £100 that is the most beautiful frame i've ever set my eyes on, does it have a sister for sale?, i'd be willing to offer slightly more perhaps? 😀

My Genesis Altitude Ti

I've ridden a number of Ti bikes in the past, many of them too flexy for their own good IMO. This is just perfect, as stiff as the 853 version whilst noticably more forgiving at the same time... Had it nearly 2 years now, love it to pieces!
Those commencal's ride very-very nice indeed - i had a ride on one earlier this year round Kirroughtree and didn't want to give it back which got me searching for a Ti frame which led to myself choosing the Hummer posted earlier, as a matter of being nosy (can't afford another new bike) what sort of price were you thinking of selling it for?, and what size is it?.
Recently refurbed dialled MG it's polished up real nice.

Heres mine but unfortunately this bike has not been getting the rides it deserves!
Heres mine..........
after a steel on one 456 really wanted to try a Ti version, bought the frame off here. Rides really nice.

Airborne Black Widow from back in the day! I took this photo 6 years ago. Its still built up with some updated parts and now de-stickered and looking very stealth. Rides proper and wouldn't change it.

This is my steed that I bought myself 5 years ago as a 30th/wedding present. I did have an original many years ago. It replaced a Pace RC300 that is awaiting a rebuild.
edit- as suspected, I failed!
Just spruced mine up with some new tyres, pedals and given it a bit of a once over...

Still waiting for my cheap CRC Reverb to arrive in the post though!
always wanted a kobe !...(and still want one.....)
finally I got this...some time ago...
