OK guys and gals, a bloke came into the shop i work at about a year ago looking for
bits and pieces for a mountain bike he was building.

He'd taken the cranks from an old BMX bike that was "wierd looking" i helped him with
the parts and then asked the golden question "Whats the old bmx like?"...he said
wierd looking with some extra bracing added......i didnt want to get all excited in
front of him so i said "bring it down and i'll have a look (at this time i didnt even
know these bikes existed) he eventually rolls up at the shop and says hey mate i got
that old bmx in the ute are you still interested, i said yeah give me a look...$20
later i waltz back into the shop with the frame and fork and the boss saying "you fool
what are you going to do with that?" I said "it's special (guessing all the way and
trying to keep face with the boss)"....anyway after a good long time gathering parts
and getting stickers and DK mini stem from the US and other things from other areas i
ended up building the following bike.

Nice one Dean. Titans are cool bikes. Known more for their minis than anything else! Love it.
