Description
Own a piece of cycling history with this mid 1970's Teledyne Titan titanium bike frame with Campagnolo Super Record bottom bracket. This is another offering from a bike collector who is selling some of his extensive collection. The frame is like new. A couple of the decals are a bit scrunched at the edge and the seat tube decal has a small gouge in the clear part (see photos). Replacement decals are available thru Velocals on eBay or their website. If you only want certain decals instead of an entire set, check the website. Accepts a 26,6 seatpost.The Titan was the first production titanium bike. Only about 2300 frames were made so the frame/bike is rare and collectible. Classic Rendezvous has a serial number registry at the link below. This is frame #2110 and was never registered on that site.

Until recently, this was a complete bike built up with the Campagnolo Super Record gruppo and Galli titanium brakes and brake levers. The parts and components (all essentially still in NOS shape) were removed, freshly cleaned and lubricated after sitting for nearly 50 years. The crankset and a few other parts were installed on different bike bike frames but many of the components are still available. When I was disassembling the bike, the BB was being stubborn. Because I didn't want to damage the lock ring and fixed cup, I left it on. It still spins like butter.
The frame and BB are being offered alone in case someone wants to do their own build. However, I can build this back into a complete bike fairly quickly. Two top tube brake cable guides will be included. They are very fragile and must be handled gently.
