Retro Titanium Hybrid Road Bike. PRICE DROP!!!

[juz]

For Sale is my Towsen Titanium bicycle. The frame was built around 1995 in Germany, only about 1000 of these were made and they cost nearly £1000. The welds are excellent and the ride is at least as good as the more well know Merlin and Litespeed frames.
I've spent the last 18 months sourcing components for this build, everything is either new, as new or new old stock. There is a mix of retro and modern parts but they are all in keeping with the bike, it looks stunning.
I am offering a choice of set ups, the hybrid/road as pictured or the tyres, rear mech, shifter and cassette can be swapped for Kenda Nevagal 2.1, Sram pg980 cassette, Sram X0 anniversary rear mech and X9 shifter all of which are as new.

Damn that is gorgeous, out of interest how tall a rider is it set up for in those pics? It's probably too small for me also.

I've pulled the seat post out so it can be seen! I would say 5' 10" would the tallest rider this bike would suit. Thanks for the comments guy's!

I've just had a measure and its 15" from the centre of the bottom bracket to the centre of the top tube and the length of the seat tube is actually 17".
Cheers,
Justin.
