Richard has sent us pics of his Rohloff GT Xizang before and now has a new ride to share with us. It's a brand new custom Carver Ti 96er! 29" inch wheel in the front and a 26" inch wheel in the back. From his own words..."its an amazing all day bike - great uphill and brilliant downhill - that myth about the rollability of a big front wheel is true .... only 80mm reba fork on the front but it feels like the best travel fork ive ever had ....." We're a sucker for custom built frames and bikes so this is eye candy for us.
Carver ti Custom 96er

Stans rim on Hope hub with XTR disc front
XTR cranks and Eggbeater pedals
Thomson Elite seatpost and Selle Storika saddle
Rear xtr rim brake

Not bad for a Rohloff equipped Ti hardtail.
Pretty sweet ride...
