 moots
 Moots, began building bikes in Steamboat Springs, Colorado in 1991 and for the last nineteen years have remained solely focused on hand building the finest titanium frames available. Each Moots frame is handbuilt with collective care by passionate cyclists and craftspeople following a meticulous multi-step quality control process throughout each stage of the building process. All the frames represent Moots very best effort to build the perfect riding bike..
Moots employee Jon Cariveau talks about the Moots way of doing things here Moots Titanium: The Magical Frame Material
Abundant as an element but exacting to work with, Moots believe titanium provides the best combination of durability, light weight and ride quality of any frame material. Moots continue to choose the highest quality titanium for all of these reasons, but the ride it creates is the biggest reason of all. Each model and size is fine tuned to best accomplish its intended ride quality. Moots specify only the finest grades of American made input material for their proprietary Moots Pi Tech seamless 3/2.5 and 6/4 CWSR (Cold Worked Stress Relieved) titanium tubing. Each tube on each frame is selected for the optimum ride from a huge selection of different diameter and wall thicknesses. Using the highest grade CWSR tubing allows extremely thin walled material for reduced weight and increased strength. Speccing a custom blend of tube diameters and wall thicknesses for every size frame in the line ensures the ride quality of the largest frame matches the ride quality of the smallest frames. A Moots Ti bike captures the elusive combinations of liveliness with proper stiffness, responsiveness with control and high performance with comfort. No other material provides all of these attributes in one frame and comes with lifetime durability. Moots also specialize in and offer custom frames on every model with fit, geometry and tubing selection designed to specifically meet the particular needs of each customer. The custom upcharge is £450. Moots build Lifetime Bikes
Moots frames are lifetime frames backed up by lifetime warranties. The combination of selecting only the highest grade titanium input and finished material worthy of becoming Moots Pi Tech tubing and focussing attention on every build detail, results in a bike that has a tolerance to damage level and durability factor significantly higher than carbon, aluminium and many other titanium brands.
No other frame material withstands the rigors of riding in harch enviroments like titanium does. A Moots titanium frame will not deaden, loosen, crack or otherwise degrade in its performance or comfort over time. And, it will outlast several generations of carbon fibre or aluminium frames, and always perform like new.
