Titanium remains a dream for many bike enthusiasts. Unfortunately, however, partly due to price and partly due to trends, few end up riding a titanium bike.
The good news is that a 20-year-old titanium frame can still be as current and beautiful as when it was first made.
This is absolutely the case with this Bianchi S9 Matta.
To enhance this splendid frame, we assembled it with a Shimano Ultegra R8000 groupset paired with an SRM Origin power meter, a pair of ultra-light Fulcrum Racing Light XLRs, and finished it all off with PRO and Fizik components.
