Any Thoughts on Titus bikes?

[Cycle Fan]

Does anyone have any experience with Titus bikes? Cam across this as a frameset and it looks pretty good:

Planning on using it as an all-round bike (stage races, technical riding, etc) and the reviews seem pretty positive.

 

Any thoughts on Titus as a brand and the bike?

 

Thanks

They were bought over by the on-one / planet-x boys a year or two ago .... http://www.on-one.co.uk/brand/q/Titus

I have the Titus El Guapo which is a 160mm trail bike which I Imported from the UK.

 

One or two Hubbers have had the Titus Racer X and a friend has the Rockstar on which he just finished an epic Cape Town to Beit Bridge ride.

 

Its a great bike and unique in that very few are on local trails.

Thanks for the replies. Reviews on the frame look pretty good - just a bit concerned about the lack of a warranty.

 

Any thoughts on the geometry of the bike paired with a 120mm fork? Looking for a 'do-it-all' kinda bike for marathons and the odd technical ride.

There are always going to be issues surrounding unsupported bike brands in SA but you're still able to post the frame back to wherever it came.

 

If you are wanting to use a 120mm fork, I'd rather look at the Rockstar frame. Far more suited to your intended application.

best to shop at the On-One site for the hanger.

 

Does anyone know if the FTM Moto can be run as 650B?

The biggest issue I had with the titus was getting a new boltset. Had to have the 5 bolts imported and it cost 25 pounds to post and I think 40 pound for the item.

Hairy, you in the know, does titus or one one do a dualie 650b? The itch has started .....

I have a RacerX (2006) hanger - if it fits it's yours.
