We woke up this morning to another grey and wet morning in Portland.
First job was to collect the last of the boxes we were waiting on, containing the prototype On-One tires, and Titus El Guapo handlebars.
After heading into the office to load up the rest of our gear and a quick coffee stop, we were on the road and heading South on the 800 mile road trip towards the promise of sunshine and a cold beer.

We finally rolled into Seaside, CA at 11:45 last night, just in time for a quick shower and 5 and a half hours sleep before heading to the show this morning to get set up for the first day of the 2012 show. After the early morning sea fog had cleared, we were greeted by clear sky’s, no wind, and 70 degree temperatures, a far cry from what we left behind yesterday morning in Portland.
The first day is generally a little quieter than Saturday and Sunday, so if today was anything to go by we are going to be in for a busy weekend. The sun is out, and thousands of racers and fans made it out to Laguna Seca today to enjoy the show.
See what we got up to on day five of Sea Otter 2012
Anyone think they could handle an Ibis 59er?
So….that’s it.
1600 miles, 9 coffee stops, 2 US states, 15 hours sleep and 4 days of cycling inspired ‘fun in the sun’.
Building up bolt kits!
For all of you who have been waiting on bolt/bearing kits for your frames, we now have a good selection of kits available. They will be available to buy on the website tomorrow, and if you don’t see what you’re looking for, drop us an email at info@titusti.com and we’ll do our best to sort you out
Less chaotic than it looks!
Our prototype Carbon 29er got a great response at Sea Otter, from both press and customers alike. So whats happened since then?
Well……we’ve been putting the 2 prototype frames through their paces on both sides of the Atlantic, check this picture at Lake Garda, Italy. Although we are super happy with the way it rides, afew small details still need fine tuning before production.
Come check out our Portland showroom to get up close and personal with any of our products.

My name is Ray Lachance and I have been riding, racing and coaching for over 20 years. To give you some idea what it was like racing off-road ‘back in the day’ we would race the hill-climb event, wait at the top, race the downhill, and then start the cross-country the next day. This was all done on the same bike and usually with the same wheels and tires! Fast forward 20 years and we now have bikes than can handle the ups and downs equally well and the Rockstar 29’er is a bike that can do it all, and do it well.
I participate in Marathon XC and off-road stage races as well as Road, and Cyclo Cross racing. I am in a unique position to show case Titus bikes at all of my events. I know that they would draw a lot of attention and interest, whether I am on fat or skinny tires. With the vast array of bikes required for all the different styles of riding, Titus, Planet X, and On One, have created superior bikes for performance at any event.
2012 is upon us and I am hoping to have the support of Titus. Whether I am a rock star or a road star does not matter. All that counts is that I am out there representing and having fun doing what I love on two wheels.
Some of my plans for 2012 include:
