Date Reviewed: December 2, 2000

Strengths:    Ti frame is stiff, not as flexy as the litespeed telico which is a good thing... awesome climber, i raced comp this year (2000) and i was only passed once on a climb and that was a bad day.

Weaknesses:    no break away derailleur hanger which i guess is typical on most ti frames. but then again i didn't ask for one, it is a custom frame.

Bottom Line:   
i don't recomend anyone to spend that kind of money for a custom bike unless you are going to race it and you better damm well win a few as well. if your a serious racer it will be well worth, the comfort, the fit and it was made just for you. but the f*#k up thing was..... they charged me for shipping!!!! for a bike that expensive they should give you free shipping!!!!

Strengths:    Stout. Fantastic handling

Weaknesses:    Decent value, but still costly

Bottom Line:   
Awesome race bike. Flawless handling. Doesn't noodle around when cornering hard. Hard to complain unless you compare the prices to bigg-name brands. E-mail me if you want one. Mine is flawless and for sale. (I bought 2 schwinns for the same money)

Bottom Line:   
I love this bike. It is the ultimate race machine. Climbs, descends, and plain-out flys right along. The titanium ride is so much smoother than other metals, like aluminum or M2, while at the same time remaining stiff for climbing. This bike is also extremely quick handling, the obvious result of a well-done custom job. The titanium also is great because it always looks good, clean or dirty, and there is no paint to scratch or chip off. Furthermore, Titus is an awesome company and bike builder, they will build you a bike that will last a lifetime(literally) and will ride like nothing you have ever experienced before. I have raced this bike numerous times now and it has performed beyond my expectations, it carried me to a second place finish in expert class at the World Cup in Big Bear, California this last summer. Go Titus, definitely the full five!
