I think all three bikes suck. What you need to do is send them to me immediately so I can evaluate them to establish if any are worth keeping.
Seriously, all of them are great rides, I would give a nod to the Hammerhead, but that is because I am a Clyde that is more into trail riding than racing.

Chi-chi points for Raycer's bottle cage, but he loses them for innertube chainstay protector, kinda kills the whole look. Homebrew's takes the cake with the battleworn look and bonus mud, always a winner in my book, plus he has a real fork on it. What's that on the right seat stay homebrew, some sort of protection, or are you covering up a boo-boo?

Thread hijack in progress...
It's only a 10" sub. Boston Pro Series. Plenty of low end torque. I haven't got around to installing the system in my truck yet.
It's just some elec tape covering a rub spot. No boo boo, just worn smooth. It's over 2.5 years old now and seen plenty of action.richde said:

No release problem for me
Last month my eggbeater hit a root so hard the impact slammed my seat into my leg and broke the seatpost, the pedal never released. Last summer I hit a root hard and snapped the pedal spindle in two but once again no release. Maybe there was some problem with your cleat interface caused by your shoes.

jesus...arguing over a waterbottle cage, pedals, discbrake rotors and chainstay protector...
since the last photo of my bike was taken i've upgraded to the W I D E R (man size) Salsa "carbonfiber" flat bar @ 25" and a Ritchey WCS stem and seatpost the FSA post seem to not like selle italia flite TT rails therfore it will be banished to eBay shortly.
raycer x likes to bag on my spotty working back brake and blown lockout on my sid fork but i've since fixed the brake problems and the lock out will get fixed during cyclocross season. He is really gonna be hate'n life here in Texas when he see me roll up on my NEW titus Riddler, i'm thinking of building it up as a SS first to replace my bianchi s.i.s.s. and then come the spring XC racing season slaping on some gears and stuff for a back up bike.
One intresting thing about Titus Bikes and Texas is at the NORBA national we had here in Waco last March the guys in the big team trucks were suprised to see so many Racer X's and Hammer Head 10x's rolling around. it seems you can't walk ten feet at a local race with out bumping in to some titus product.

That's the 2.1 Blue Groove on the front and 2.1 Nevegal on the rear of my bike. I was just test riding them so I only got 4 or 5 rides on them before I had to give them back. Thumbs up though. They are reasonable size and weight with good traction and stick like mad.sungchang said:
Raycer's look like the 2.0 Blue Groove Lite which is a lower weight smaller tread version for racing.
It's the same way up here in the D/FW area. The first race of the DORBA Fall Series started last Sunday and there were RX's all over the place.The Trail Nazi said:One intresting thing about Titus Bikes and Texas is at the NORBA national we had here in Waco last March the guys in the big team trucks were suprised to see so many Racer X's and Hammer Head 10x's rolling around. it seems you can't walk ten feet at a local race with out bumping in to some titus product.
Assesment:
Points deducted for SIDs. Sloppy work, that.
Points deducted for having a "race-ready" SID, but not running a 2x9 setup for Texas.
Massive pooints deducted from all for closeting their bikes on various pavements and messy workbenches. Set them free:

Yes, I have a small ring on mine, but I'm not race ready. I'm slow as a glacier.
all of the above was meant as humour. Get over it.
