This here my old Titan team Golff Foreldorado. The original owner used to be their top dog and the team only had 3 of these bikes for their best riders. The others rode steel.
I found it in the local classifieds for a modest amount, but I was still in my retro days and couldn't appreciate the stiffness of the frame. So after a year I put it back online and within 30minI got a message. The OG rider's gf saw the bike (I mentioned his name in the ad) and wanted to buy it for him. Who was I to say no, so they came by, we had a couple beers at our place, double date style and they left with his old precious. No profit was made except a bloody fantastic afternoon with beers and stories of his racing days.
