The company never was quite the same after Chris sold his share in 2006. I've had 3 of their bikes and I still own an Exogrid FCR which serves as my singlespeed.

All the bike companies are shuddering at the thought of me buying a new bike.......
Glad I sold mine now...
Great bike, fun to ride, craptacular customer service.

Bummer.
I still plan to rebuild my old Quasi Moto which is currently a frame and fork. Great bike.

Doubtful. I think they pushed all of their inventory out beforehand.
"Even I had to fly to China" - nuff said.
Titus as a company had no bones, nothing more than a chi chi market brand sourced in China in order to maximize short term profits. Meh... they're not the only ones who lacked control of their supply lines.

No need to sugarcoat. Their CS was a ****ing joke.
Titus makes ****ty bikes. They are nothing special with ****ty bushings and bearings complete with flexy frames. Fvck titus.
So no new Racer X for me next spring. Looks like a Blur LT or something similiar...
you just missed a blur lt on chainlove for $899.
Fixed!
Bummer. Always wanted a Switchblade back in the day 
And the Racer X is still a solid bike.

My Locomoto was a decent bike, but then again I didn't really know any better back then. All I knew is that it was anodized and that was cool, although it wasn't bead-blasted and that kinda pissed me off. But they just told me they hoped I liked my new bike with its "unique" finish, even though it wasn't what I ordered. When it cracked a few months later at the headtube junction like many others, I got a new one for free but it was several months' more wait.
Still, the Quasi was always a cool bike and I always wanted one, especially the one the Speedgoat owner had posted on his site--mounted with a big Hannebrink up front as his "XC" bike. I was big into that anodized, oversized thing circa 2000. Glad I went with the RFX instead, though.

We never saw much of dem bikeys out here in Southwest Alaska...
LOL!!! makes sense since she redid their kitchen
China?
I'm sure... all of our drivetrains certainly are.
You didn't reply to my profile message for chrissakes.
I do remember seriously lusting after a Racer-X my senior year of high school when I worked in a shop that was hot on Titus. Glad I never got one, I wouldn't have liked it.
stop making bikes in china, stop having a boring life.
I have sold many of Titus' bicycles. I think if you polled most of those owners today they might still love and ride them. Titus made some nice bikes. Never my cup of tea, but still fine bikes.... It didn't suck selling them. It does however suck that another builder has gone under or away. To me atleast.
MY shop is a large titus dealer. I showed this article to my manager and he said "ZOMG we are fuxed!"
Jesus, did anybody read that article?
"The company, well known for its customer service..." Technically that's a true statement, but not in the way MBA says it...
"Still, as is common in any liquidation, the best that can be hoped for is that someone will buy the rights to the Titus name and technology and relaunch the company." Uh, what technology would that be? The Horst link?
I own a Motolite and like it just fine, but I'll be keeping my eyes out for a replacement frame just in case I break this one. Been lusting after a Banshee Rune anyway...

Agreed.
I'm a little bummed. I figure it's a matter of time before I crack the carbon seat stays...... now I'll just be SOL.
farewell to another small blip on the radar
