from Richmond, IN USA Date Reviewed: September 18, 2000 Strengths: Super light. Accelerates like a rocket. Climbs like a monkey. Customer service. Weaknesses: None attributable to the bike. I did switch the seatpost from the Easton C2 carbon to a Cane Creek Thudbuster because my back and butt took such a beating. I'm worried about the Hugi hubs based on their reviews, but I haven't had any problems. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $3600.00 Purchased At: Julie's Mountain Bikes Similar Products Used: It's my first "real" hardtail after a Trek 930. More recently I've been riding a Marin Mount Vision. Bike Setup: Full XTR except Avid Mag brakes. Bontrager racelite rims with Hugi hubs, Easton C2 handlebar, Cane Creek Thudbuster, Frog speedplay titamium pedals.

from Breckenridge, CO, USA Date Reviewed: July 20, 2000 Strengths: Good craftsmanship and a great price for titanium. Titus makes bikes a whole lot cheaper than Litespeed and I like my HCR just as much. I put a bunch of money into XTR components and think that XT would be a better and less expensive choice and then I could have put that money into a better front shock, seat, tires, etc. A great frame overall. Weaknesses: The bike has been a great performer, but I have taken a couple of falls crossing big streams and the frame fills up with water and ruins the bottom bracket. Decals are cheap and come off easily. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Colorado Trail Duration Product Used: 2 Years Similar Products Used: TREK 9800 carbon, aluminum frames with XT parts. Bike Setup: Manitou SX front shock, full XTR components, GEAX tires, Answer handlebars w/ Ouray grips, Mavic rims.
