dirtcrazy Posted December 12, 2011 Author Posted December 12, 2011 no idea, cant find details on web - nothing!! but the add is in bicyling mag
jannosmit Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 Looks decent judging by the pic, XT and SLX Mix, Reba RL(T), Racing Ralphs Evo tyres, tapered headset. I will upload some pics. I just wonder what the price will be and what people will think of it, because the only thing I have heard/seen about Titan is the cheap bikes Piet-se-fiets sell. The geometry looks real nice, can't see the chainstay length with the angle of the pics, which is a biggish factor regarding climbing conrad.greve 1
Breezer Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 (edited) I am 1.8m. I could not stand over the toptube of a large without crushing my n@ts.go to www.titanracingbikes.com Edited December 12, 2011 by Breezer
headhunter2000 Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 I'm about the same height and crushing mine aswell on the Scott Scale Comp 29er large so I'm rather going for the medium frame.
tommy two shoes Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 Nice looking bike. Tried their website but it's not up, silly to advertise it!

Iwan Kemp Posted December 15, 2011 Posted December 15, 2011 I'm about the same height and crushing mine aswell on the Scott Scale Comp 29er large so I'm rather going for the medium frame. Check reach and TT lenght first.. Might be time to shop for another brand.
Eugene Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 Saw an Alivo/Acera equipped 29er at Sportsmans Wharehouse for R7 500 not sure of the wheels or fork. At that price, you can do much better with a Momsen, Scott or Karokoram (GT).
Face Plant Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 saw two of them at my LBS must say i like the look of the red and white one, prices are pretty good the info i got is  full XT bike 16kSLX / XT rear derailleur 14.5K apparently Titan is made by Merida
knersis Posted December 26, 2011 Posted December 26, 2011 (edited) Yup, saw the Merida van drop off Titans at the lbs, people seemed to buy the cheap bikes @R2900 for their kids for christmas. Edited December 26, 2011 by knersis
