I bought the Titus Racer X mtn bike from Wheatridge Cyclery. They're holding it for me until spring then we will do the full fitting and get it set up exactly right. I'm very happy with their knowledge, expecially with my requests. I use 165 cranks on my mtn bike and there was no objection to switching the 170's to 165's. My shop at home hestiated and had to think about this when I requested such a change on my mtn bike. They did it but lots of times I feel I'm educating them on a small persons needs instead of the other way around. Not so with Wheatridge.
Also, I resolved my reservations about aluminum bike frames for small riders. Given the right builder and shocks the bike can feel as good as steel or carbon.
So, Denverites, come late March or April, you might just see me on the trails on a little gold Titus.
