an old clip. before smartphones. before glasses. before the shop. before Instagram. i stood when I welded frames. i saw a girl do it in a magazine. it was the coolest shit I'd ever seen. @ausiliavistarini 's fat bike. my first one. hers, too. she set records and even made a movie about it. I still use the same homemade tig cup and lens. same one for almost 20 years. . . #crisptitanium #madeinitaly #titaniumbike #custombicycle

It was an honor to present this bike at @dtswiss Craft Bike Days in Tuscany—and even more meaningful to receive the Builders’ Choice Award from fellow framebuilders. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 This very simple project reflects the kind of work I care deeply about: thoughtful design, careful execution, and respect for the materials. Columbus Hyperion tubing gave me the freedom to shape the frame exactly as intended, without compromise. The Columbus Trittico system—handlebar, stem, and seatpost—along with the Trefoil Allroad fork, allowed for full integration while preserving the proportions and balance that are so important in a custom build. Rolling on @dtswiss Gravel wheels, the bike carries the same level of precision and reliability that defines their work. Their continued support of custom framebuilders—both here in Italy and around the world—plays an important role in keeping this side of the industry alive and evolving. A special thank you to @crissart72 Biason, whose hand-painted finish on the Columbus components brought a unique artistic dimension to the project. Her work adds a level of individuality that goes beyond function and into expression. Thank you to @vittoriatires for the collaboration and support with their natural rubber and cotton-cased Tirreno Pro T30 Gravel Race tires, and to everyone who took the time to check out the details during the event. #CraftBikeDays #MadeInItaly #vittoriatires #dtswiss #CustomBikes

Congratulations @crisp_titanium - the Builders Choice Award goes to a framebuilder that earned it. Columbus Hyperion is the kind of tubing that gives a builder the shapes and diameters they actually need to make something worth competing with. The cockpit is the full Trittico system — handlebar, stem, seatpost, Trefoil Allroad fork. One integrated solution built specifically for handcrafted steel and titanium frames, where the trilobed steerer handles full cable integration without compromising the proportions a framebuilder spent months getting right. For custom builders, that last part matters more than anything. Well done, Darren!

Some frames carry a story worth telling in public. This is @crisp_titanium 's gravel build — conceived around Columbus Hyperion, Grade 9 tubing, with fully integrated internal cable routing and a geometry built from a real rider fit session. Everything in this project was earned: the form, the function, the finish. Now it's soon heading to Craft Bike Days Italy, where craft like this belongs: in a room full of people who understand exactly what went into it. Swipe through the build. See you there.

I made some #T47 sleeves for #Shimano/#praxis to improve internal routing thru the BB shell. It uses native o-rings with same tolerance. Happy to send #3dprint file if anyone needs them. Long term goal is to get all my shop prints up and available for download on my website, but short term goal is completing the website ;) . #crisptitanium
