Thanks! It is indeed a very cool project for me ever since seeing one up-close way back in 1990. That first encounter is still engrained in my brain like it was yesterday. Just don't ask me what I did yesterday!Signing up for updates @27motorhead , very cool looking project
Quite rare for these shores too and doesn't look like many have been built-up on RetroBike to my knowledge. Might even need to do some painting too (touching up only of course because the patina is totally delicious!
) so that'll be fun, especially with that military/agricultural hammered finish.Really interested to see how this beast rides too!

Nice pics and write up! I also remember that MBUK article with the lake jumping pic - I remember it seemed so inconceivable to my teenage mind that someone would do that with their £1k+ bike, but hey it definitely sold some copies of the magazine!
Looking forward to seeing this built up and glad you’re keeping the paint

Back in the day, it certainly was an expensive bike to jump into lakes. Also a bloody heavy bike to retrieve from the bottom of a lake should you let go!Nice pics and write up!

I have wondered if this was ever Jamie Tatlow's old frame at all? He has posted on here, so I might try and track him down and see if it was. It's got plenty of rust in places so looks like it might have sat the the bottom of a lake at some time!

@JabberingJimbo this is a long shot, but I was wondering if this Titan in this thread could have belonged to you? In the mean time, another shot of you in action from a few years ago

No update on my build, but this is a great thread courtesy of @uschibert. If you're not German and using Chrome, it should auto translate to your native tongue.
