[Closed] Titus Fireline Ti 29 Evo..

I'm just writing words actually.

The Titus Ti Fireline Evo29 is a progressive trail hardtail designed for tough fun trail riding, optimised around an 120mm travel suspension fork (526mm a-c, 15mm lower external headset cup).
Fitted with ISCG05 tabs, a post mount rear brake fitting, replaceable rear mech hanger, the Ti Fireline Evo29 is a competent and contemporary model, designed to give a great ride for many years.
Custom swaged tubing, cold worked by our craftsmen, hand welded, hand finished and checked by eye. No robots here.
Geometry and frame fittings complement each other. Short, true, 17.1in chainstays balance the fore-aft weight perfectly whether up or downhill. Huge tyre clearance is assured thanks to the tapered bespoke chainstay c section, bracing the chainstays, increasing tyre clearance, guarding against chain abrasion, and yet using tubular Ti where necessary to keep weight down and stiffness up.
With a static 67.7deg head angle at rest with an 120mm fork and external headset, the Fireline Evo uses our Mixer Taper standard and is compatible with all styles of fork, and even angle adjust headsets to fine tune the handling more.
Seat angle sits around a pedal perfect 73degs when at "ride height" balancing perfectly with the short rear stays for maximum seated traction without looping out on climbs or "tri bike" like seating positions. It just flat hammers, flatters and eats up the terrain like nothing else.
One set of bottle bosses allows seat dropping with ease. 30.9mm seat tube means dropper post compatibility. A triple chainset fits, as does 2x9, 2x10, 1x11.
Frame material: Cold worked 3/2.5 Ti
Bottle bosses 1

completed. Sea shipping. Here in 5 weeks.

how much for the Solaris frame? + Dibs

Brant, assume rear is normal 10mm quick release ?

Yes.

Brant, any more info on sizes and preorders, tried to post a question on the Titus site but it wouldnt stick?

I think I have some housekeeping to do on the Titus site and your post is to be approved. Which I will then answer.

Brant, whats the TT on the 20"?

Brant, any updated info.......?

Rocketdog - it'll be too big(dug) for you.
I'd be interested in SH solaris too!

My Solaris has been dibbed, hopefully these come soon or i will be bikeless. Brant, please tell us it will be soon!

Medium or large.... large or medium... Hmmm hmmm hmmmm.

So a human eye is better than a robot eye?..

For the tease, drib n drab... I'm out

It is a bit like that isn't it ... 😕

Must work though, although less than a few years back I reckon.

Btw ...

Whats the decals going to be like on this ?

Frosted/ etched ...stickers ... ?

Stickers

Medium or large.... large or medium... Hmmm hmmm hmmmm.

How tall are you?

I'm 6'0" I run a Medium giant XTC29 (which i think is perfect sizing). I bought an XL Yelli which was too large. I had a Large MEta which whist it felt BIG, it wasn't ridiculous, i had a Medium Bionicon Supershutle which felt too small on 99% of riding.

Brant.....another "wot size".....

Am 5'10.5" and rode a 16" 456 Ti. Prefer running short stem / wide bars for larking about in the woods type riding. What do you think?

Is exogrid dead? Too expensive to manufacture?

Expensive but gorgeous. Subject to a licensing agreement that I haven't as yet renewed.

Thanks Brant, good to know they still might be made

Brant - Assume this will effectively mirror the intentions of the Ti456 only in 29" format - Figures suggest so......

Its a ruffty tuffty trail hardtail.

So on that basis, yes.

Brant,
Here's your big salesman oppertunity....

"why should i swap the frame of my Giant XTC29 to this one ?"

a progressive trail hardtail designed for tough fun trail riding ... It just flat hammers, flatters and eats up the terrain like nothing else.

... which is pretty much what I'm looking for at the moment (nice copywriting skills Brant)

tho I'm not clear "progressive" and "without looping out on climbs or "tri bike" like seating positions" mean ... anyone?

Preorder is up on the website, only £699, Im in 8) 8) 8)

It means we could have followed the masses and gone even shorter at the back end, but made handling suffer - or we could have pitched you forward to counteract that, but we didn't.

Progressive means it's contemporary with new rims, tyres and forks that are arriving on the scene.

What rim, tyre and fork do you recommend then.......?..?

It means we could ...

ok, fair enough, ta

It means we could have followed the masses and gone even shorter at the back end, but made handling suffer

Interested in your thoughts on this. I've ridden Canfield Yelli Screamy and Nimble 9, 2 Souls Slim Jim all with chainstays between 16.3 and 16.7" ish. Admittedly all set up 1x9 or 1x10, but I thought (in my ltd experience) the handling was spot on with all 3.

In your opinion how does the handling suffer? Is it seated climbing or not stable enough going down, for example?

What rim, tyre and fork do you recommend then.......?..?

Smorgasbord on a Pacenti TL28 for now. With a nice Reba.
