      Woah, 6.9kg are some of the best numbers I have seen for a price like that. Any chance you could share the frame you bought?

      Is it possible you share the list of all the components you have? I would like to build a dream bike for myself 😊

      Would titanium save more weight over aluminium frame?

    I have dealt with Ti39. I have had only good experiences with them. They are very responsive. Purchased a titanium stem for my 2019 Superlight from them. Great experience.

    I actually emailed the seller on the eBay titanium bike. You will just get the main frame, fork, triangle, and stem for $2200. Still not a bad deal.

    I have bought 20" comeplay triangle and fork. I'm aiming for a woodland/gravel path bike I can get on the bus. I weigh 55kg. Here's hoping the bike isn't a wet noodle!

      Some of the Brompton clone riders will say the same thing.

    I have seen notes that the eastern titanium frames may not be strong enough to hold a heavy European? But I have bought a lot of titanium and carbon parts for my 2019 Superlight, now weighing below 9 kilo, as a similar T-line with mudguards! And for a much lower price! Finn. Denmark

    Brompton really missing a trick here. They just can't be bothered to develop the product.

      They don't need to. They have people buying their bikes regardless. They are a brand that is overrated for what they are. That's why I never bought one.

    Ebay is terrible to deal with. They will let you get screwed over.

    The Ebay seller in this video, Ti Atom, I have found to be shady. He has sold items he did not have in stock, forcing me to open a dispute because he would not issue a refund, and the very frameset listing you were looking at on Ebay will not allow me to send questions to the seller. I have contacted him via other listings in his store with questions about THAT Titanium frameset listing you were looking at and he never responded, not once in 8 questions I sent to him. BEWARE THIS SELLER TI ATOM!!!

      Yes, the biggest problem with the Chinese stuff is that you don't know what exactly you get. Luckily, eBay, Etsy and other big platforms support the buyer very well.
