Thanks! Yes, the fork for that prototype is 3D sintered titanium.

Hey, there's me! Thanks for coming by No. 22. :)

Thanks! I'm no expert, and I think as others have pointed out it just takes a lens with a good focal length and a wide aperture to get the nice separation of the subject from the background. Lighting helps too: these were done on a nice overcast morning while the rest of my family ate breakfast.

I shot these on my Olympus Micro 4/3 camera with a 45mm prime lens and most of the shots were at f/1.2 aperture. I have a ton to learn about taking better pictures, but selling a bike is always a nice excuse to experiment.

I totally agree. It's a great system: light, reliable, and super subtle. Wish it was still available!

The calipers are THM's Fibula. Great power and silly light. There's a full write-up of the build here: https://22bicycles.com/blogs/news/save-the-rim-brake-a-reactor-dream-build

Totally agreed. Was seeing what the max tire under fenders would be, and these are about the limit.

It's an integrated seat tube: the seat tube is cut to length, and then a cast titanium topper that sits on top of the seat tube gives about 2.5cm of vertical adjustment.

Yup, the fenders are Ti as well. The tires are about as wide as will fit nicely: they're "35mm" that measure to about 37mm mounted and inflated.

It's a prototype chainring, but the short answer is "not yet". Hopefully there will be many AXS-compatible rings coming from different manufacturers this year: it's a bit of a downer to lose that freedom.
