Titanium Red advert from 1996 re 1997 frame

[TrevorKershaw]

Here's an advert from 1996 featuring the Titanium Red 1997 frame.

Does anyone remember these frames?

If my memory serves me correct, they didn't get great reviews compared to the Merlins, Litespeeds, etc, but were supposed to be reasonable frames.

Are there any out there and have they lasted the test of time?

Of course they didn't get good reviews, its russian and cheap. So not as cool as USA and expensive.

If they hadn't mentioned that they would have reviewed much better...probably

I used to have one of the stickers from MBUK on my telephone handle!

There have been a couple of mentions of these in the past so good to have the scan available for reference.
