My Titus FTM is finished

I finished up my Titus FTM build over the weekend and finally got some photos this morning. I'm very pleased with how it turned out. The weight is just under 29 lbs, which I'm pretty happy with. The handlebars and brakes I have on the bike right now are pretty heavy and will be replaced soon, so it should shed a few more grams. Not too worried about the weight on this bike, but getting it around 28 lbs would be nice. Over the next few days I hope to get a few rides in so I can get the front fork and rear shock setup, as well as get my saddle position adjusted. Current specs are as follows...

How tall are you? I'm currently looking at building up a 2009 model FTM frame also. I am about 5'11", and trying to decide between a medium and large frame. I'm leaning towards the large. Appreciate any advice you may have. Looks like a great build you did!

I am 5'9" tall with a 30-31 inseam (in jeans). Bike seems to fit me pretty well.

Hi. What are the measurements of the box of the frame? I ordered one from JensonUSA and am interested how big the box is.
