Beautiful! Although why didn't you want Tom's pulley wheels?
Wanted to use parts I already had. Plus I have few other bike and car projects currently.

At last got the bike out on to the New Forest Gravel (err.. Mud/Wet/Windy thanks to Storm Dudley)... but all I can say is it was a great ride and easily covered the 75km at pace and in comfort....

I suppose I’ve never paid close enough attention to titanium builds but I suppose 8.5-9.5kg is par the course then?

A typical titanium frame will be 1.5 - 1.6 kg. Some brands, eg Litespeed, reduce that a bit. A typical carbon frame will be ~ 850 grams (?). So that's your gap.
Par the course is a result of the broader configuration - titanium fork, inner cabling, etc.
Gorgeous bikes btw.

My road Sturdy was 7.35kg. Its an older model before Tom produced the Titanium forks, stems, bars etc so they're all carbon which might account for the weight saving. It's lighter than pretty much any other Ti bike on the market.
