Motolite SOLD...!

I am sorry that I did not get this up any sooner. The bike was sold on eBay July 3rd and was on a truck heading to a new home in Nevada on the 5th. I have been pretty busy with work and the any day arrival of my second child. I don't seem to have any spare moments these days.

I was in a big rush to get the bike sent off and I didn't get any pictures of the packing and shipping process. I am a little upset about that but its okay. There was one ironic thing with this whole thing though; I ended up sending the Titus in a Cannondale box that had the same model bike shipped in it that I "replaced" the Titus with. I thought that was kind of funny.

I haven't heard from the buyer so I guess that is a good thing. If you read this man I would love to see a pic or two of it out on the Nevada trails!

2009 Titus Motolite FOR SALE....!!!!

                             SOLD!!

I think it is finally time to move out one of my bikes from my inventory to make way for a few future ventures. I have always loved this bike and I won't lie, its hard to sell it but I think I need to send it to a good home where it will be ridden more then I can ride it.

As many of you may have read on here before I just recently finished up a major overhaul to this bike. I wanted to clean it all up and get the frame powdercoated to get rid of the "purple" anodized paint. I completed all that and also changed all the bearings out on the frame. I also added a new sticker kit from Titus and clear coated the front triangle over the stickers to protect them. Along with the face lift I also updated the bike to a Sram 2X10 setup. Originally I went with a full X-9 setup but ended up with a mix of X-9 and X-7 components. The build out of this bike is comparable to a bike costing close to $2000 these days. I am wanting $1400 dollars for the bike but I understand that I won't get that out of the bike. I have it currently listed on ebay for $1350 obo. I am hoping I can get some offers that I can consider.

For those of you visiting my page from the eBay listing I hope some of these pictures help...
