Oh my god I just nearly puked at the price of a titus fireline frame...not going to be looking at one of those then!

I'm sure that when I've bought ESI grips in the past from America they were way cheaper than £15.

Good grips though, got them on all 3 of my bikes and Madam's too.

Billy, the 2010 Fireline will be £1999.

It's not for everyone but for 2010 it has a hydraformed downtube which is pretty unique, it still has it's convertible dropouts which are pretty unique and is still US built (which is also becomg pretty unique)! It also has an expensive hand polished graphic finish which costs a lot to do.

That's not a bad price if you compare to the competition but we are talking to Titus about making a less 'fully featured' frame at a lower price, still US built but regular dropouts, no hydrafoming and vinyl grapics which we're hoping will hit a significantly cheaper budget.

 Cheers.

Nick, regarding the cost of Esigrips please remember that price includes flying them in, UK VAT and import duty and a distributor profit margin. But thanks for the positive comments, they are pretty cool grips!

I'll be having a couple of pairs of grips for certain.

No matter how much I would like the Fireline, my budget for a new racey frame is going to be at the very top £895

Oops Billy, I just double checked and the Fireline is £2099.

 If that's what budget you have and you want ti, I would suggest waiting for some possible price adjustments from an american ti builder that could see their frame come down to about a grand.  But you didn't hear it from me..........

Frame material isn't set in stone yet.

Looking at the likes of Storck, Yeti, and Pace...it will be easter next year before I've got the pass to buy one
