The fact that GT also has a titanium racing bike frame in its programme is hardly known even to connoisseurs of the brand. One reason for this could be that the Edge Ti is not widely advertised in Germany and is only sold as a frame set. Our assembly is therefore only a suggestion. The frame is welded in Taiwan, there is no customised frame option. However, if you can find the right size from the five available, you could be very happy with the GT. The heavy, well-made frame with the distinctive rear triangle has a sporty riding position, has stability reserves even for heavy riders and has a surprisingly elegant appearance for the fair price: the surface is matt blasted, lettering and decorative strips are polished to a high gloss.
