Maybe Pacific will buy them
Once mighty brand? While I will say that Titus has made some beautiful bikes, I bet a good amount of people on this sight have probably never seen/heard of them.
Still, bad news.
Hopefully someone keeps them alive. Lisa has always said a Titus would be her next bike...

Buy her a Pivot, designed and built by Titus Cycles founder Chris Cocalis.
Very sad to hear. First my own business and now Titus. I have 3 Titus and love them all. They have made some great bikes. I have been watching this go down over the past 2 months and was hoping it would not happen. :cry:
My only hopes is that someone will bring them back, but in this economy, I wonder if that is possible.

I've always coveted a Titus.
I feel your pain brother!!
I am on the hunt for a few extra dropout sets- really just need the driveside- I'll keep you posted if I find any- do you want me to grab some for you if I get lucky? Campmor doesn't have'em by the way...
I own an Eleven.

What a shame. I have a RacerX, and it is an amazing bike. Fits me like a dream.

I had to buy some last winter after a spill in the snow mangled my hanger beyond repair. I found them at Competitive Cyclist.com, they don't just sell the drive side. Somebody out there needs to CNC some after market ones.

Might be old news to some.

UPDATE: It is now being reported that Planet X, the parent company of On One, has purchased the Titus Cycles brand and assets. Titus was the North American based company that featured titanium, and titanium and carbon fiber composite designs in 29″er format, as well as 26″ers and road bike. How this might affect the future of products coming from On One is not known at this time, but the future possibilities seem exciting.

I'd love to have a few, I'm sure there are others here that could use a few. I'm a manual machinist, don't have any CNC skills but I know it's got to be cost effective for you to be able crank out a batch and sell them for a reasonable price. I've only got the one that's on the bike, how long would it take to model? (if you were serious)
