HI Everyone,
I need to make room in my garage, thus, I am selling my custom Papillon
titanium CX bike. The bike is fully loaded with some great features that
make it a dynamite bike to race and train on. The bike has been sitting in
my garage since last CX season and has only been out 2 or 3 times for CX
practice in August. Thus, it has not seen any mud this season and has been
immacutely cared for.
. Integrated seat mast- this was originally cut a little short, but
I had a custom plug/ insert created for it that extended the height of the
mast. My inseam is a 32 and it fits perfectly. That being said, you can
easily cut the mast off and run a standard seatpost on the frame. Do not let
this get in the way if you are interested in the bike. Heck, I will have the
mast cut off for you (no charge to you- and it will be done professionally
at a local shop) and install a seatpost clamp for you so you can pick out
the seatpost of your choice.
. Extreme S-Bend seatstays- These look gorgeous and add additional
comfort to the back end by being extra compliant over the rough stuff.
. Ovalized downtube for increased power transfer- Simply put, this
bike accelerates like a rocket ship.
. Flattened top tube for shouldering- This is the most comfortable
aspect of the bike as it can sit on your shoulder and never dig into it.
. Top tube cable routing to keep free and clear of the mud and
derailleur housing running from in front of the seat mast to the derailleur
itself means you never have to change the cables during the season for fear
of contamination.
. Ti pulley wheel for running bottom pull front derailluers

One thing to note about the wheels, they have seen better days as they have
been raced on for a few years. They would be fine as a backup/ pit
wheelseet. I also have a brand new, still in the package Bulldog tire and
will include that if you so desire. I honestly would not be selling the bike
if I didn't need the space in my garage and had a spot for it, but at this
time that is not the case as other priorities have taken precedence. I do
have pictures as well as the full dimensions of the bike and can send that
over if requested. For now, here are the basic dimensions:

Thanks.
