I also bought a couple of Titan frames in July 2005! I have not assembled them into bikes yet but hope to do so this spring/summer. It's been a while since I've snooped around on this forum and enjoy getting educated. FYI the decal that says "Varnished by Dossena Carlo" should say "Painted by Carlo Dossena". When you translate the Italian "vernice" into English, the literal translation is to "varnish". In actual fact, "vernice" is "paint". It just one of those things where one needs to know both languages to pick up on these things. Also, many Italians typically write their name, or introduce themselves to others "backwards" to the English way of doing this...that is to say, first name last, last name first. Hopefully this clears up the inaccuracy. Cheers to all...Fabio
