This
was our first of the 2008 Carbon Racer X frames from Titus. Mike is
one of our regular customers who told us every 5 years he buys new
bikes. This time he wanted the best he could get and after some physical
injuries last season was thinking full suspension. The requirements
- fast, light and efficient.
Now
for the build kit..."No messing around"ike said, I like
XTR and want the newest version. we talked parts, looked at other
builds and decided to go full XTR with Race Face Next (carbon) seatpost
and bars. The Race Face Deus stem helped keep the package complete
and we had Chris King build a one off red/blue mixed headset. If
you'd like to find out how we can help you build your dream bike please
feel free to drop by the shop or shoot us an e-mail (see below). BTW
this bike is a Mediuml frame and ended up at about 25lbs. with pedals.
