Frame and Fork combo for $900!! - separate purchase is equally acceptable.
Disclaimer: the stack height is quite short, will measure and take photos tomorrow.

Item: Titus FTM Carbon - 135mm rear travel
Location: West Pennant Hills, Sydney
Item Condition: Good, a few scratches but has been covered in frame skin since day dot. One shuttle mark on the downtube - as far as I can see it hasn't impacted the paint, only frameskin.
Reason for selling: new frame
Price and price conditions: $700 -->675
Extra Info: This frame has a custom headset running on cane creek bearings, reducing the head angle to 67 degrees (originally 69.25) by using a straight steerer fork through the tapered headtube. This makes it the front travel optimal at 150mm while keeping the bottom bracket at the same height and not impacting the rest of the geometry.
Rear shock had a full service 6 months ago. Frame includes an xt bottom bracket and 2 spare derailleur hangers.

Thought it was tapered h/t?
btw, just googled it, and seat tube length on a large rules me out anyway. 21.5"? Anything above 19.5" and I can't run my 5" dropper.
GLWS, cobs.

yeah it's a tapered headtube. But the custom headset brings the head angle from 69.25 to 67 by running a straight steerer at an angle through the tapered headtube :thumb:


If you wanted to run a tapered fork, you'd have to change the headset and go back to the stock (XC) geometry.

Ah, I see. Cheers, never knew a headset could change it by almost 3deg. Yeah, I've got straight steerer forks coming out of my arse, but it's the seat tube length that kill it for me.
Surprised you arent offering this as a package with your fork :noidea:
