Joey, I am among those that bought the frame from Titan several years ago, in the second "batch" ordered. I have to say it forced me to re-asses the quality I had previously associated with Chinese-built things. It is a beautiful thing to behold, very well done, not quite up up to , say, 90's Merlin standards but it is a really nice frame they build. Great to pack up and take somewhere... anywhere!
Wonder if their quality is still as good? Anyone? I just read the above that Jur has discovered:
"It isn't clear the company is still trading. They had problems with authorities and were forced to shut down and move." wow, That could be bad.
One other great thing they were able to provide was customization. Of the 2nd batch ..15 frames (?) produced,
I doubt any of them were exactly the same ! How amazing is that? I, of course messed up a tiny bit and requested something not well thought -out but it was easily reversible ..with a metal file...and not even worth mentioning, really, except to say they did exactly what I requested of them.
So that was all on me.
I fantasize ordering more custom Ti things from them, like, how cool would it be to have Ti fork made for a Raleigh Folding 20 ?
I have to be careful though, this kind of dreaming get's expensive...
I will post a picture someday and bring you all up to date on my adventures and modifications with it, it's been awhile.
Thanks again to Jur for organizing the original build, it's really his genius we have to thank for the "Folding Ti." and for working out all the "bugs" from his earlier/ exploratory order. It was really an amazingly smooth and rewarding operation and I love my Ti Swift.
