Mosaic sought to build an up-to-date mountain bike for ‘playful, fast’ riding. To do it, it deployed a new streamlined production model with fast turnaround times.
If you want a handmade bike, somebody has to make it by hand. That takes time — sometimes, quite a lot of it. But if you want Mosaic’s titanium MT-2 mountain bike, you should be in for a shorter wait.
The MT-2 is the latest Mosaic dish, and looks like every bit of a clean, titanium hardtail. Mosaic built it as a go-anywhere bike with size-specific straight gauge tubing, clearance for 29 x 2.6” tires, and, notably for the traditionally gravel-minded brand, a 120mm Fox fork.
And thanks to its “Batch Built” program, you could see it in as little as 2 weeks after you put in your order.

Under the Batch Built model, Mosaic uses in-house stock frame sizes to speed up delivery turnaround. The idea is to let the company’s fabricators get a head start on orders.
Mosaic said it’s already got a handful of MT-2 frames waiting in the wings, in sizes S, M, L, and XL.
It’s not quite a custom, but you’d be hard-pressed to find a shorter wait for a handmade bike.
