I must admit I've been rather fortunate these last few years and have managed to get nearly all the bikes I wanted, but couldn't afford, as a teenager in the early 90s. There was one that had eluded me however and that was a Titan 1/2 trac. Whilst not mega rare I can't imagine they produced huge numbers of these and even less would have made it to the UK. So imagine my surprise when scrolling through Marketplace and I spotted this..
Damn, I knew what it was immediately despite the lack of decals and a description of simply 'retro mtb'. So message sent and I waited for a reply hoping its not already sold. The seller got back me to and sure I could buy it and collect that evening. So I spent the rest of the afternoon waiting for my phone to ping because someone else had bought it or as is often the case gazumped me. But the seller was good to his word and a few hours later I was driving home with it. I've learnt on Marketplace until its in the back of the car you ain't bought shit. Too many times have I been disappointed in the past.
So here it is in all its glory.
