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.
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!
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..........
