Titan ID wanted

[JJR]

I know in 1992 there was a Titan factory team in the UK.
So for the Titan experts, what frame is this?
I think it's a Profile Jr. frame with those 2 extra tubes welded on!
Possition of those tubes is differently then other titan frames.
Dropouts are profile.
Brakebridge is Profile.
Anyone?

The colouring points to an earlier model, in the early 90's they switched to hammerite finishes, in either grey, red, blue or green

What the TT length ?

don't know if this is the orginal paint because it has little "dents" in it?
thought there was hammerite paint under it but the owner said no.
my opinion it's a Profile Jr. frame with 2 extra tubes on the frame.
all Titans i've seen have different dropouts and brakebridge.

this is what Scott Fyrry had to say about this frame:

Yeah if it is from 1986, then most likely it is a Profile frame. There were only a couple of full sized Cro-Mo frames out there that in '86 that were made for a couple factory riders like Eddie Sigmond and Todd Mitchell. It wasn't until about 1987 that we started making a full line Cro-Mo frames. Plus, if this is a Jr sized frame, we would have used a small diameter bottom bracket, rather than the full sized seen in the picture. Hope this helps.

I think it was a Profile frame and someone took and welded on the struts, this was not done by Titan when I Dad and I owned it. Profile never made frames for us. This frame could even be older than '86, it could be from 1985. It is not a real Titan in the sense that it was not built in Eugene, OR.

We do know that bitd a lot of riders that rode for factory teams used other manufacturers frames, also a very common occurance in road racing.  Perhaps this is one such example  .

Perhaps.... my opinion it's a  E.S.P. (Eddie Sigmund Products) frame, after some research I found this on the web.

check the frame of rider with number#2 (same struts)

Here you see the frame we're talking about and the reinforcement-struts
