Interesting, Mark.
I had heard that the Alan-made Carbiturbo (I was trying to remember that name!) was OK and held up very well, but we at cycles de ORO sold perhaps 5 BiTitans and every one of them broke!
The only other Colnago dealer I know of who is a close friend (Two Wheeler Dealer in Wilmington, NC) had maybe two break (I don't think he sold many more than that)
I have a lovely BiTitan head tube fragment as a decoration in our repair bay now. It is from a fellow who bought it for his wife a few years back. No help whatsoever from Colnago (Trailtir or Todsuns) but he did buy her a Masterlight as a replacement!
Go figure...

I am a great fan of Rominger's and would love to see that drilled out trick BiTitan!
