I must mampara I can't have an argument of wit with someone who is so clearly unarmed.

 

Then stop talking to yourself.

Kransie....i'm going to do you a favour and have a look around. There was a compnay selling 05 Racer X's a while back for the same

 

What size you ride?

They're scarce because they don't do high-volume entry-level bikes. Very low volumes. As i've said before, they are currently pushing up their quantities but until '05 they were doing 2500 frames a year. The big manufacturers do over a million frames a year.

 

 

 

"The Titus Racer X is an industry legend, earning accolades and awards in seemingly every year of its existence. The Racer X has seemingly been annually recognized by Bicycling with its "Editor's Choice" award and MTBR.com as its pick for ?Best Full Suspension Bike?. Despite their success, Titus continues to forge ahead, refining the frame to near perfection each year ? it's this progressive approach that keeps both the Racer X frame and the Titus brand at the head of the class."

I've been keeping an eye on E bay for a while now but all we see are large and I know they do an XL

[Thug]

 

Aren't those the ones that look like Raleigh's?

 

Are you talkign about Santa Cruz? Last night on SC they showed the new Gary Fisher and they also look like Raleighs now.

 

 

 

A letter to MBA that appears in the April 2007 issue........

 

 

 

"Rob Roskopp's (Santa Cruz Bicycles) prediction is proven true by your magazine cover (January 2007).

The new Gary Fisher Race Day looks like a Xerox copy of the

long-standing Santa Cruz Superlight. They have almost identical pivot

point placement, shock mount, and rear triangle designs. But the

Superlight has an inch more travel, sturdier non-house brand components

and is $355 less".

Sorry Krans, having a *** day here, I really hate Valentines! It's gotten my back up all day!

[AndreZA]

Thank you for clearing that up Thug.

 

 

[TitusTi]

You must be having a real sh?t day to give up that easily

Just saw your comment on another post and laughed

 

 

[TitusTi]

I almost decked someone, really though! Feeling a bit better now though.

[Kranswurm]

 

 

Anyway look on the bright side,there are people out there who dress like this

[Buff]

Bet you wouldn't tell him it looked k@k though  

 

He's one of those okes employed by SAA to kickstart the Boeings in the mornings.

[Kranswurm]

Well,I cant sprint faster than him,so I would have to be cunning.

I know,I'll wear a pair of those goddam awful green Croc's and while he's admiring them I'll kick him in the goolies

Kranswurm,

 

Bob Feldman from www.bikerbob.com (practically a legend on the Titus forum on MTBR) has a demo 2007 Titus Racer X large.

 

I looked at the geometry and it's very possible it could work for you.

 

How tall are you? Inseam measurement?

 

What specific Cannondale do you ride?

 

The geo worth noting is as follows, toptube/seat tube

 

XL Rush        25.6/19.7

XL Prophet   25.6/20.9

XL Scalpel     25.5/22

 

L Racer X      24/21.25

XL Racer X    24.6/23.25

 

ITO seattube length the large RX sits right in the middle of the 3 XL 'dales.

 

Toptube length is a bit shorter but that is something that could fairly easily be compensated for with a laidback post or longer stem.

 

Saying that, you'll also notice that the Racer X large ST/TT lengths are identical to the large Intense Spider you're looking at.

 

Of course there are other considerations. Notably that I doubt it'll sell for the same price as the Spider.

 

Also, the RX is disc specific?

 

No pressure hey....i just enjoy doing the research. Use it, don't use it!

 

Cheers

Mint
