Titanium road bikes have always been known for all-day comfort, making it the perfect material for the explosion of modern wide tire, endurance all-road bikes. Nordest’s Miranda Ti adventure road bike looks set to build into the ideal endurance platform to explore those roads less-travelled.

Nordest Cycles’ latest affordable titanium bike is the new all-road Miranda Ti. Built as a fast & comfortable all-road bike with endurance geometry, Nordest says it’s ready for adventure just by strapping on some bikepacking bags. While the Albarda Ti is their no-holds-barred titanium gravel adventure bike, the Miranda Ti still has room for up to 32mm tires. Pick a set of fast-rolling road slicks to stick mostly to asphalt & hardpack, or throw on some file tread cross tires for more mixed-surface adventure riding.

Miranda Ti – all-road geometry

Geometry for the Miranda is a little steeper than Nordest’s gravel bike with a 71° head angle to balance riding on any surface, but it’s shorter 408mm chainstays & much shorter wheelbase should keep handling quick on tarmac.

Miranda – Tech details

The non-nonsense disc brake Miranda frame is built-to-order in Taiwan from double-butted 3/2.5 titanium tubing, with a standard threaded BB, 27.2mm seatpost, 44mm headtube, and full-length external cable housing. The great benefit there, is that there’s a lot of flexibility. That means buyers can add extra bottle bosses under the downtube, on the toptube, as well as rear rack mounts for no additional charge!

All-road tire clearance is generous, up to 700c x 32mm tires for both the ti frame and matching tapered steerer, full-carbon fork. The Miranda can be built up with a mid-compact double (max 53/36T chainrings) with a 31.8mm band clamp front derailleur, or as a 1x drivetrain with up to a 46T single ring.

The frameset features flat mount brakes, 12mm thru-axles, and includes a replaceable derailleur hanger. Claimed frame weight is 1750g (56cm).

Nordest Miranda Ti – Pricing & availability

The Miranda Ti is available in five stock sizes (50-58cm), plus a custom geometry option for a 150€ upcharge, with a 10 week delivery time after order confirmation. Stock sizes for the frame alone sell for 1400€, or 1704€ for the frame kit that includes ti frame, carbon fork & a Chris King InSet headset, all with free EU delivery.

But what about a steel Miranda?

Nordest typically develops a new bike first in steel to iron out final geometry & details before putting it into production. But then, sometimes they introduce the new bike in either titanium or steel first, adding the other option at a later date. No official word yet on when, but Nordest has teased a steel version on social media, confirming that it is in the works too, likely at their typical ~600€ steel frame pricing.

Titanium is beautiful and it rides well. People also think that it’s light, but titanium bikes’ weight advantage disappeared years ago, making it expensive and heavy for the money. Why pay 1400 euros for a 1750g frame? I know carbon’s less sexy and less exclusive, but at that price a carbon frame might weigh 400g less.

I believe you’re answering yourself. Titanium rides way better than carbon.

The front center distance is ridiculously short.
