Custom Ti with Ritchey couplers?

[Clancy]

Some time back I remember seeing a post somewhere about a custom framebuilder who built a one off Ti road frame using Ritchey couplers. I seem to remember something about getting permission from Ritchey to use the couplers and design.

Can someone point me to that article, post, builder?

Thanks

Don't know the post but I think it's Holland. I saw an exogrid over the weekend that had the Ritchey system and it was really slick. The owner said that Holland obtained a license to use it on his bikes. Look at the history section of the website. By the way, the exogrid is really a beautiful bike.

I seem to recall seeing a Ti Cycles from Portland using the system as well.

I've got a steel Breakaway and it's a fantastic system.

I built one a while back, but unless they've bumped up the diameter for the down tubes, I don't recommend it unless you're on the small/light side. The DT coupler was for 34.9mm tubes.
