Titus Lives
Posted by writerbob on October 31, 2011
Last fall, Titus Bikes went into bankruptcy. At the time, 29erOnline was testing a Titus Rockstar (see the review here) and we were not quite sure what we were supposed to do with the bike – send it back to a non existent company? Well, On One, a UK based cycling company, bought Titus out of bankruptcy and we sent the bike back to the new owners for their use. On One has breathed life back into the Titus name. They recently announced that they have started production in the U.S. of a revised Rockstar. Changes for the new bike will include:
- raised the bb slightly
- curve in seat tube for more clearance
- slightly shorter top tube
- thru guides
While 2010 version had some strong points, we felt like it suffered from a bit of an identity crisis – not quite racer, not quite trail bike. Hopefully, we will get a chance to see how the new version performs.
