Reilly T640 Titanium Rim Brake Frame & Fork Ti 6/4 With Carbon Forks Size Medium

Bike brand: Reilly

The Reilly T640 Titanium Rim Brake Frame and Fork is up for sale. It is a size medium and is made from Ti 6/4, a harder, stiffer, and lighter version of titanium compared to the more common 3/2.5. This frameset was purchased new in May 2020 from Reilly and is the top of the range model. The current version of this frameset costs £3500, but this exact frame is no longer available off the peg as Reilly now only builds the T640 as a disc frame. They can still build a rim brake version, but it will be even more expensive.

According to a review from the "Road CC" website on June 4, 2018, this frameset received glowing reviews. The seller has previously owned two Enigma Excels made from 6/4 Ti and prefers this one. The handling is more responsive, and the polished titanium finish sets it apart from the dull-grey Enigmas. The seller is not criticizing Enigma, as they also offer a polished version, and the seller has owned and loved 8 Enigma steel and titanium bikes in the past. In fact, Mark Reilly, the frame builder at Enigma, started his own company, and the seller was curious to see how they compared, which led to the purchase of this frameset, even though the seller had just built their Open Min.D carbon superbike.

This frameset is in near-perfect, lightly used condition, with the only blemishes being some light polishing on the headtube from the cables. 6/4 Titanium is an exceptionally hard material, making it difficult to mark. It was built up during lockdown by the original owner and has not been ridden much, as they also had a fleet of bikes. The seller bought it in Autumn 2024 and has only ridden it around a dozen times. It is a sublime ride. The seller made some improvements by swapping the Ultegra groupset for Dura Ace 9100 and the Borg 50C carbon wheels for custom DCR aluminium rims on Carbon Ti Hubs. This not only reduced the weight by 300g compared to the Borgs, but the seller has also found that carbon wheels do not match titanium frames as well. Even the Enve 2.2 and 3.4's fitted to the seller's previous Enigma Excel did not match up. The seller also fitted 28mm
