Titus bikes once were like a gift from heaven.

The remaining assets of once-legendary boutique bike maker Titus Cycles have been purchased by Planet X, a British company known mainly if at all for street bikes in this country.

As we noted earlier, Titus had abruptly closed its doors after running out of money after a long descent into poor management, layoffs and lack of tech and marketing focus.

What remains of Titus will probably be picked over by Planet X for tech, patents and miscellaneous inventory.

We’re sorry to see Titus go but will always cherish our titanium HCR hardtail. A little steel wool to that baby and it looks brand new every time.
