I've got a Titus on order from on-one.. but Its been dragging on for a while now without turning up.. in case it doesn't, what alternatives are out there with similar travel, with a frame weight that's in the ballpark of the Titus, around 5.25lbs - 2400g

cheers.

Not for £800 though. Have they given you a new delivery date?

I feel your pain as I had a long weight too. Do they have one in another colour?

Patience is a virtue... At the price your paying nothing comes close. My buddies took 3 weeks longer than advertised... Still he's very very happy with the outcome.

Chumba vf2. We have a few limited frames and colours though. We could offer one at £800 to match the Titus price.

Shipment just arrived in UK, so don't despair. I had a longer wait but it came through this week. They have changed US warehouse location, shipping company and were waiting on shocks, all resolved now. So you should see yours imminently, he says...

I was looking at a chumba vf2 last year until I got a second hand Turner 5 spot.

Hi Simon, you should have had an email at around 11:30am this morning explaining the situation. Has the email not arrived?

Si,

Buy yourself a hardtail frame. That will keep you busy for a while building it up. Then by the time you've ridden a couple of times and rememberED you don't like hardtails your Titus should have turned up 😉

I've canceled it.. and ordered a different frame.. even if its sat on my office floor on Monday morning when I go back to work its being sent back.

Si, bloody hard work - I remembered almost instantly why I'd said I wouldn't do it again last time! Started to enjoy it towards the end, though, as I relaxed into the laps.
