The Stetina brothers road Follis~Teledyne bikes. Both names on bike simultaneously. I think I recall that the Follis importer in SouCal was also,briefly, the Teledyne source as well....

There were some painted Titans near the end of the production period.
Rumored to have been cosmetically not acceptable for anodizing and or "repaired". Never bothered at the time to check serial numbers. Despite the paint they were sold at a discount to the dealers. Regarding rebranding, a guy I used to race against rode for North Hollywood Wheelmen when supported by Teledyne. When he switched club to one with Zeus sponsorship, his Titan became a Zeus. Saw him last year, he is looking for a set of Teledyne stickers now. So, a Follis branded Titan is not a far reach. Saw one on ebay some time ago, branded as a Colnago.

Now those top tube clips for those Titans are rare as well, Shimano made them for Teledyne special.
