A happy reader sent us two 1kg blocks of parmesan. Mmm... cheese.Peakless is the way forward for '09 man. Here's a Giro Saros to prove it.A fat barreled track pump from Giant.Titus FTM - it stands for Full Tilt Moto. So now you know.Nice gloss-on-matt graphics.Carbon seat stays and swinglink.Specialized Epic Carbon for issue 50's race bike test.
World Champ colours. Brain shock. Massive BB shell. Shakey hands.Alpkit's water resistant Jeanius jeans have finally made it into proper production.More bits from Giant. This time multi-panel multi-compound locking grips.A portable jetwasher from MobiWasher. This one you can run from the mains as well as a car lighter socket. Yay!Some T-shirts courtesy of the nice chaps at DMR bikes.For those still wishing to peak - the Bell Variant in yet another colour scheme.Benji and Sim are competing in the Kielder Avalanche this weekend. Hopefully they won't be needing this Co2 canister stuff from Giant.Benji's "Sunday Best" race shoes - Diadora X-Trail Carbons.Benji's Cannondale Prophet MX is back in "Enduro" mode (after being in Downhill mode for the Kidland DH race t'other week). 29.4 lbs (inc. pedals) if you must know.After his usual tortuous umm-ing and ahh-ing, Benji has opted for Bontrager Big Earl 2.35 tyres (running with 125ml of Stans No Tubes sealant on Mavic Crossmax SX wheelset).Something has arrived from Kona that will make Matthew very excited indeed.
Apart from the colour, is there any appreciable difference between the Titus and the Spec? My choice would be the Titus, just because I hate the way Spec buy other peoples patents then charge for the use, despite never doing any development work themselves. Seems like a very American thing. Plus I do really like Titus’ Exogrid frames. Mmmmmm, much salty goodness.
I neeeeeeed some parmegianno to heal my barbed wire fence wounds. Got any spare, like? I only ask since you don’t have any brakes/skills courses on offer 😉
Is that crazy perspective or is the parmesan as large as an adult male?
You are going to beed to make a HUGE bolognaise to put all that cheese on.
Yes it is that big. It’s also wedge shaped so we are about to take it outside and do some jumps offarit innit!
🙂
Chaps, Is the FTM review in the next issue?? it get rave reviews in the US press but not a peep in the uk mags! Thanks!
Oooooo, peaks, could do with one of those please since mine came off in my hand….and if you could throw in one of those t-shirts too please … lovely
It’s not in the very next issue. It’ll probably be in issue 50 (out June 11th).

If that Titus rides anywhere near as good as the Super Moto I’ll be having one next year. That’s got to be the nicest looking Titus I’ve seen.
mmm, yes the Titus & the Spec do look rather similar.
More importantly, what issue will have the results of the cheese test?
Something has arrived from Kona that will make Matthew very excited indeed.
I’m having to pop in the officr today just to have a look! ;]
hmmm, where did you get the Titus FTM from ? did you buy just the frame and build it up yerselves…. i wanted a motolite, but i cant find one.
The Titus FTM is brand new into the country – which is why you’ve not seen it in any other magazines yet. I hope they saved me some cheese…
