Prototype 170 Madd Titanal

[big canuck]

I bought this at the end of last year and rode it one day. I'm pretty sure I paid $475.00 USD shipped and thats what I'm looking to get out of it.

It looks like a proto but its a pretty sweet board. It think it might have been a demo at ECES last year if I'm not mistaken...

Only reason I'm selling is I have a line on a SIGI and need dough to make it happen.

Pics coming

Thx

I am interest this 170 mad. please post some pictures.what stiffness is this board : 1,2,or 3.

[big canuck]

I may need to be corrected here, but I think the board is a 2008 as the last boards that had stiffness ratings were 2007... This does not have the carbon butterfly it was Madd's crack at Titanal.

It is at least an F2 rating, stiffer than softer for sure, It has a mile of camber.

Hi there is that a sticker smudge on the nose of the top sheet ?
Thanks

[big canuck]

Not its not a smudge, its kinda weird when I bought it off the last guy the nose was painted white. When he removed it that what was there. It is clear coated and sound just rough looking. I'll try and get abetter pic

[killer]

That would be great thanks

Can you give us nose/waist/tail dimensions, I'd like to know the waist width and also the taper (and guess at the sidecut too with Nate's calculator)
Thanks!

howdy
can you post pic without bindings and straight on middle of board
so i can tell distance of inserts. camera should be middle of board
at 90 degrees.
thanks

From what I measure
23.5 cm nose and tail. 18 cm waist. Well over 2 cm of camber.

I tried to get as close as possible for the straight on shot to 90 degrees to the board.

Looked at Madd's website and my measurments ring true to what they last posted, 23.5 cm tip width and 18 cm waist. The site claims a SCR of 12 m thats a blend though, this is a VSR board. http://www.maddmikes.com/Shop1.html

This is what the guy I bought it from had to say about the board

"Mike Banker only made a small run of
them and sent me some for the ECES at Stowe. They have some crazy camber more than the regular glass Madds and
both seem to be pretty darn stiff, like my f3 158. The titanal is
pretty think in the board so it really doesn't ride like regular metal
boards. It's not that it's a bad ride it's just different than what you
would expect from metal. The board has a ton of pop, it just feels a
little less nervous and more damp than the glass Madds I had. "

For those interested in this board, this is a TI 170 prototype Madd. Curt is correct, it was an ECES demo and was only demoed a few times.

You are going to to get cosmetic flaws with any prototype out there. Madd only made a handful of Titanal boards and every single one of them was a prototype.
The Madd TI's do not have flexes, the spec's are identical to the previous glass 170's. The board feels stiffer than the F2 flex glass 170 but not quite as stiff as an F3. All the TI Madds have quite a bit more camber than their glass brothers. The boards' got a ton of pop and is a hoot to ride.

Slap a sticker on the nose, the rest of the board looks fine.

Oh by the way, Madd has stopped making boards for a while, Banker needed a break from it. These TI boards are the last boards that Madd made.
Who knows if Madd will be back. This could be a collectors board some day.

I have a 58 TI board that I'm going to hang on to.
