I love it. It's certainly got some flash but also looks like a very solid rider. Great work. May I ask where you're located and where you found the frame?
Also, welcome to the forum.

curious if you bought it from the eBay sellers in Indiana or if you got it in the EU (Belgium?), plus what fork you have on it (AL alloy?).
Very nice build, if very eclectic.

I think the wrap goes perfectly with this build. But then, my stance on splash tape and other innovations are a matter of the public record.

Looking Good & Welcome specijalka...You've got a gem.
Great riding bikes. Titan is my main ride now. Not bad for a $135 frame.

Lots of threads about these titan bikes. Citoyen du Monde commented about Carlo Dossena
in another thread, I believe he said he is a restorer/painter in Northern Italy.
