I saw this frame on Ebay and sorta kinda impulse-bought it. Way cool frame. Ti cyclocross made in the Czech Republic by Honeywell. I’ve obviously got it setup as a road bike, but I’m totally lovin’ the compact crank (and yes, that’s a DH crank).

and disc compatible…schweet. Campy carbon…pretty. Well done. Hope you got a good deal on it to make it sweeter
OMG, you absolutely must tell me every little detail about that frame. I’m also looking for a cyclocross frame right now, possibly titanium, and was looking at Morati as well (a little more affordable than the other ti options). How is the craftmanship, ride, all that? Great bike!
The ride is the best part! I was not expecting it to be as good as it is. It’s by far the most comfortable “road” bike I’ve been on and 95% as fast. I can feel the extra weight on a climb or a sprint (3.2 lb frame vs. <2.5 for a road), but even that may be due to the 20 lb crank I have on there right now.
As you can see from the pics, the welds are as perfect as you can expect, no blemishes. Very durable anondized finish with decals that you can peel off. The seatstays are very unique, no to mention cool-looking. The ISO disc mount looks like it was machined.
BUT, I don’t think it would be more affordable unless you can find a deal on Ebay like I did. I bought the frame, fork, and headset for $1000. Their website sells them for $1800 without fork or headset.
I want one.
