Great video! I’m curious about what you think the affect of the wheel/tire combination has on handling and ride quality. It seems to me (and I do this… sometimes 😮), that you should swap out and use the same wheel/tire setup when determining ride characteristics, especially over “ratty” road surfaces. Anyway, I’ll continue to enjoy your videos!
Luisssssssss man its about time you get on the Ti side of things! I am extremely interested in seeing your observations. In also going to share the Blackheart website with a few friends as well. Keep the info coming boss!
I appreciate your thought about we adapt to our bikes. I started riding a "new to me" superbike six weeks and a couple thousand miles ago. I'm still learning to sync what I call its central nervous system and mine. Loving that aspect of my bike-rider partnership. Be blessed!
Personally I like titanium. At least the titanium bikes I´ve ridden. I have been lucky enough to try the DeRosa Anima, Passoni Prima and Ribble Endurance Ti in the last 6 months. And i´ve been impressed with those. I already have a Cervelo S1 aluminium bike and a 3T Strada carbon bike. So my next will be steel or titanium. Nice video though.
In the follow up, it would be interesting to understand why exactly it doesn’t turn so swiftly, simply down to geometry? Maybe it works out as being slightly more stable downhill?
Great video and thanks for sharing. Saddle is a critical point when riding. I always ride on Fizik Pavé, Selle Italia Turbomatic2, Turbomatic 3 and Flite saddle. They have been the reference for me in terms of saddles. On the titanium bikes I testrode back then , I found a less liveliness when cornering and unpredictable statability due to crosswinds weather conditions but like you the titanium bikes I testrode back then (GT Edge and Lightspeed ) were faster than the bike I am using to ride. As I said before titanium isn't for me. I added another road frame, a 2001 Fausto Coppi K14 in Columbus Altec 1 and already purchased a pair of SRAM S60 wheels, duraace 7800, 3 Mutant bar and stem will equip this bike. Aluminiums especially Dedacciai 7003, Dedacciai SC6110, Columbus Altec 2, Caad4 and Trek SLR are for me much more predictable to ride than titanium. I can say the same about my other steel bikes made of Columbus Genius, Columbus Overmax, Dedacciai, Dr Zero, Reynolds 731, Reynolds 708, Reynolds 753. With frames made of last generation steels like Reynolds 853,921,931 Columbus Max, Zona, Spirit, life and XCR , the ride might even be better. If you are a fan of Columbus tubing, Columbus redintroduced the Hyperion titanium tubing which was out of production for some years but with superior mechanical characteristics
Id use this as a training bike, I ride a vintage 1987 Steel Peugeot Perthus Pro Reynolds 753r with Down Tube Shifters. Weighs 8.99kg with Carbon Clincher Rims 🖖
sweet ride, awesome group. slow turn-in usually caused by front fork geometry and tire size. did you notice better stability at higher speeds? look forward to your final review.
I'm surprised that this bike is fast on the flats. I'm sure it has to do with the stiff rear which can be a good thing. The front steering definitely has to do with the fork and head angle. But like you said it just takes time to get used to it over time. Later down the line could you compare it with your steel bikes based on your personal opinion of course.
What’re your take on Blackheart? I was looking at their aluminium frame but I can’t get past its pricing. It’s priced the same as an Allez Sprint and Standert Kreissage RS (not aluminium.).
But Ti does not have carbon's sculpted look; not my style. It has that certain Soviet Collective Factory look although its minimalistic design alludes to Steve Jobs’ appreciation for simple but not simplistic design like the iMac and iPhone.

Bless up Luis!
Thank you Patrick🙏🏾
I might get a Black Heart over a No22 now. Thanks for the great vid!
Thank you for watching. I am glad the information is helpful 👍🏾

Thank you so much🙏🏾
Thank you for making this! It's a super nice looking bike, love your videos
Thank you Carlos👍🏾
Luis, great review. Cudos to you for changing that seat early. That could affect one's impression quite a lot. Ti makes for a "lifetime" bike!

Nice video though.
Why aren’t all bike reviews this good?
Thank you. I appreciate your kind words.👍🏾

Love your videos. Keep them coming!
👍🏾
Thanks so much for sharing your honest view Luis 🖤
Thank you Zach! It is a pleasure... I am really enjoying this opportunity 👍🏾
Luis great review 👍🏽
Thank you Grant!
Keep Safe love the video.
Thank you David🙏🏾

Thanks for sharing that information and insight George. I will be looking into that new tubeset👍🏾
Good review.❤
Thank you 👍🏾
You look like a very fast senior 👍
Operative word being "look" 😂
Will you be taking it out on a fast A group ride to see how it rides
Hi Sabian. I did that on my first review, but I didn't film it. I will definitely take it back out there with the camera though.
Id use this as a training bike, I ride a vintage 1987 Steel Peugeot Perthus Pro Reynolds 753r with Down Tube Shifters.

Thank you for sharing your insights 👍🏾
@@thegoodwheel Your Welcome Lou. We Enjoy watching Your Videos as we're from the UK.
Just a heads up...Blackheart is putting out a rim brake version of this frame as well. Not sure if its a limited run however.
Thanks for sharing that. Yep, I am looking forward to more details on it.
@@thegoodwheel I ordered one...waiting for final design confirmations with owner? Supposedly get delivery by March'ish, at the latest.

Yes. I will definitely share some comparisons to my steel frames as well. 👍🏾
What’re your take on Blackheart? I was looking at their aluminium frame but I can’t get past its pricing. It’s priced the same as an Allez Sprint and Standert Kreissage RS (not aluminium.).
I know you like Campy products but, how did you like the Sram electric shifting?
Handlebars and forks look very aero. 1X helps too
Yes. The whole package is pretty slick👍🏾
freguency of tuiung fork

@charlesmansplaining Yes, Jobs came out with colorful tech when, I think, most competitors were plain beige.
