"The Craft Titanium Hardtail V1.1 is the magnum opus of James’ frame building efforts thus far. With 25 years of metal fabrication experience, he started building bike frames in 2017. He mentioned that it was born mostly out of curiosity and desire to make something from materials he was familiar with for himself instead of clients. He started making frames from steel, and once he had a couple of years of steel frame building under his belt, he started researching methods and equipment that would allow him to work in titanium, which James admits is what drew him into making bikes in the first place.
The Craft Titanium Hardtail V1.1 not only won Best Mountain Bike at the show, but it also was the co-winner of the Peers Choice award" Bikepacking.com
