Wonder if PX have bought the FSR suspension design within those assets. Only a couple of years left on it but it'll be interesting to see how that plays.

Recent Titus bikes have been a mix of US and Far East made I think. A lot of stock had already been knocked out to Jenson USA. NOS motolite frames for c£450.

I'd still like a Racer X to go with the Switchblade 8)

Actually I see there is a question mark over whether the FSR patent is transferable, plus Titus haven't been paying the licence fee to Spesh...
