There are builds that command attention. And then there are builds that command respect.
This particular TITICI ALFA was more than a custom build — it was the realisation of a long-held dream. Its future owner, preparing to depart overseas, approached us with one clear vision and very little time. He wanted to ride something exceptional. Something built unapologetically Italian. Something uniquely his.
Despite the deadline, nothing was rushed. No detail was spared. From the flawlessly aligned bar tape to the understated finishing touches, every element was considered, curated, and executed to perfection.
WHY CHOOSE TITICI ALFA?
Because some bikes just feel right the moment you ride them. With our rider in mind, we knew the ALFA wasn't only capable of chasing numbers — it’s also about the feeling the rider would get when everything clicks. We know with the right build structured around the rider, this bike is made to become part of your rhythm, part of your experience. Whether it’s a challenging solo ride or a fast bunch effort, the ALFA is responsive and does so with complete confidence. It doesn’t "try" to be loud — it simply is. But if we choose 3 factors as to why the Titici Alfa stands out, we sum it up here:
-
PAT Technology – Progressive Absorption Tubing
Titici’s proprietary PAT (Plate Absorber Technology) top tube is ultra-thin and vertically flexible (only 8mm), designed to absorb high-frequency road vibrations while maintaining lateral stiffness. This gives the frame a buttery-smooth ride feel, especially noticeable on long days or rougher terrain — without compromising power transfer or agility. -
Aesthetics That Defy Trends
With Italian design DNA, Titici bikes strike a balance between minimalist and striking. The top tube profile, integrated cabling, and paint customisation options result in a frame that looks unique from every angle — turning heads without resorting to gimmick. -
Blend of High-Tech and Heritage
What sets Titici apart is its ability to blend modern carbon fibre engineering with artisanal build methods. It carries the soul of Italian craftsmanship, but with cutting-edge innovation in tubing profiles, layup design, and modular frame concepts.
The result? A striking composition of Italian engineering and artistry — executed in a bold black-and-red palette that hints at its velocity, even while standing still.
A Statement for the Road Ahead
At Chainsmith, we believe true luxury is about making thoughtful choices that elevate the ride, not complicate it. This particular ALFA has already covered serious kilometres across Europe under its owner, a long-time friend of the shop. We’re looking forward to catching up with him — and the bike — in Italy for an update very soon.
A Pure Italian Cast: The Build
In homage to the bike’s Modenese DNA, we curated an all-Italian build of components — each selected for its harmony with the ALFA’s undeniable aggressive posture.
-
Fulcrum SHARQ Wheels: Engineered with asymmetry and aerodynamic profiling, these wheels deliver a precise, confident ride. Lightweight, but never twitchy — they pair seamlessly with the ALFA’s tapered silhouette.
-
Campagnolo Super Record Wireless: The gold standard. Crisp, intuitive, and undeniably beautiful. A mechanical heart that’s all soul.
-
Selle Italia SLR Boost Kit Carbonio: Featherweight, race-focused, and every bit as elegant as the frame it sits atop.
-
Deda Elementi Alanera RS Cockpit: Sleek, integrated, and sculpted for speed. An aero front end that does more than look fast.
-
Pirelli P-Zero Race Tyres: Italian grip. Italian precision. Italian speed.
This is a bike that doesn’t just perform — it persuades. It’s the kind of machine that draws a nod from those who know, and a double take from those who don’t.
