Not yet........Have patience son.....Can you drop a full frame pic? I saw a couple of pics and certainly an interesting design. The top tube pivot has me scratching my head a little
But here is a box

vegan wings?
Don't you mean Moots?vegan wings?
You spelt roots wrong.
China, same factory a fair few OEM's use. OEM factory only they don't deal with the public.Where do you get your bikes made Ash?
I'm really interested to hear more about the different grades and how using them on different areas of the bike affect the way it rides. I know this a your build thread so I don't want to hijack it but I would love to know more about this as there is precious little on the internet about it. A few of us here have designed our own through Waltly and I would really like to understand more about the materials and how they are used to tune the ride.China, same factory a fair few OEM's use. OEM factory only they don't deal with the public.
But we provide the design and specs and they building to our requirements. We specify what grade of Titanium and what tubes to use in each part of the frame. Mixing grades and tube types makes a big difference in ride quality.
We actually use 5 different factory's for different parts / products.
Mmm I would love to share but to be frank this is what makes the difference in our frames compared to others, and what you pay for when buying a product from company's like Roost Bike and some other OEM's that do this.I'm really interested to hear more about the different grades and how using them on different areas of the bike affect the way it rides.

Trade secrets I guess...but I'm sure you understand.
A lot more goes into a frame than just a bunch of numbers.
Yes I do work at Roost Bike, I design a fair bit of the stuff...
Thats good to know beeb.The Race Matrix pads are great in Hope brakes. Keep the modulation, but gain power. Word of warning though, I've found they don't play nicely with used rotors. They were damn noisey when used with rotors that had been previously used with Hope's sintered pads (I had given the rotors a light scrub with emery paper, but not super aggressively cleaned them). When using fresh pads with fresh rotors, they were silent. Good combo.
Thanks @Ash HT recognise you work for them and can't give commercial in confidence information I was chasing more general info on Ti properties and basics of frame building. I probably should have just looked at roosts site as they gave me a lot of what I was interested in there.Mmm I would love to share but to be frank this is what makes the difference in our frames compared to others, and what you pay for when buying a product from company's like Roost Bike and some other OEM's that do this.

I don't mind giving out some of the info like what's on the website, also if someone posts a design from a builder like Waltly for example and I see something that's not right will point it out as a "Suggestion"Thanks @Ash HT recognise you work for them and can't give commercial in confidence information I was chasing more general info on Ti properties and basics of frame building.

We know you will smash this bike on the toughest trails so we have really beefed it up, rear swing arm is 25mm diameter x 1.6mm G9 titanium almost double the thickness and diameter as other Titanium bikes. The CNC gussets are G5 titanium, the work house of all titanium’s and the lower tube is 51mm diameter compared to 44mm on other frames. This beast really is a work of art but if you are wondering it is a bit heavier than your average carbon rig.
Your daughter's a shocker.Got a SMS today, DHL delivered a parcel......... couldn't wait to get back only thing I could think of was its the Cane Creek order with my rear shock.
But no, its the daughters online shopping.........
