You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Thinking of getting a HT again and the Fireline is available at a good price. Anybody own one and care to give some feedback on it? The only review I can find on it is a video by Guy Kesteven.
On paper it looks like it could be a great fit. I would probably change the wheelset, tyres and fork but the rest seems alright. Always fancied scratching the Ti itch
I got one last month, bought it for leisurely sea front cycling so can't really report how it would fair on the trails.
I can confirm it looks the part, the welds etc look spot on.
PX currently have one of the other Titus frames on sale for £500 if you're looking at stripping the wheels and forks, might work out more cost efficient.
Thanks for the response gurnster75. I’d be looking at riding trails, peaks and surrounding area mainly. Don’t like the look of the Hello Dave Ti. I’m very sad when it comes to aesthetics and that thing looks like it’s been crashed in to a tree and then a giants stamped on the toptube.
I hadn't really noticed the geometry but you're right it's Hello Dave esq, albeit the seat stays are curved.
Usual odd PX pricing at the minute, £2000 for a FireLine or £1500 with a dropper post included plus they've just added a MRP fork'd version for £1600.
So tempted at that price!
I have a Loco Moto (Ti Hello Dave) and it's amazing - https://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/FRTITLM/titus-loco-moto-frame
I'm 5'10" / 5'11" ish so right at the top perhaps just over the recommended size for the medium and right at the bottom of the recommended size for a large. A deal on a pre-built bike with same day dispatch came up on a medium so took a gamble. Pleased I did, size seems spot on for me, average size legs, body and arms etc. Hope this helps?
Have somebody interested in buying my Stooge too. Argh! Decisions 😂
