E A got mine (Large) in January as a sale bike from Fat Treads, its a 2007 model so without the carbon back end. I wanted a longer travel bike over the Superlight I have at the moment, which is a great bike with 100mm travel front and rear but doesn’t suit longer on the front IMO (awaits flaming). I looked for the pitch pros but missed all the deals and this in the sale was the same price as the Pitch. I did a fair bit of research and spoke to Fat Treads (Martin is that you?), who gave excellent advice and were really helpful.
Have only ridden it one weekend at Afan (W2 & Skyline) and found it a way more capable bike than me (at the mincing end of ‘core). Downhill I found the bike fantastic with all that travel. On the flat it rides really well as its not too heavy and you do feel nicely forward ( is that the step head angle). Up hill I tried the TALAS down, up. Rear pro pedal on and off and found it best on techy climbs with the Talas up and propedal off ( 🙄 ).
I am delighted with the bike overall and thats only after one weekend. There is still a lot to do with the fiddly bits! my only thoughts are that I need to try a 29er like the Sultan but thats more about me than the Titus.
I had better bits around so stripped and fitted those (and bought a pimpy matching Spoon), the wieght is now 28lb compared to the 31lb as supplied,(Thats for a large effectively extra large) and with better kit would be only half a pound heavier than my 26 lb superlight. So an XS could build a lot lighter (24-5lbs?) if you really wanted to.
Jojo – loving that green. Nearly as nice as the bronze 😆
