There's hardly anything about Swiss Titans on the internets, but the OP's might be one.

Thanks for correcting me. I did know that the later bikes were Italian built, but made my post without thinking it through...

I'll put a couple inline as well. I need a better camera or lighting. I can't seem to get the lighting or zoom correct to get the reynolds 531 stamping to show up.

I don't know if you tried, but using the 'Macro' function on your camera helps out a lot on close up pictures.

Would the Swiss built bikes have Italian threads on the BB?
