titanium...

welding up a few titanium bikes this week, always a pleasure to work with the stuff! its funny how folks seem more interested in carbon, not sure the exact reason. Some folks claim weight, but I think the main thing is the fact it is so swoopy and shaped. I have a hard time not admiring Time's frames, they are a pure example of function and art...
If you get a hankering for titanium though, give a shout! had to scramble to find a new supplier for titanium after Tisport stopped distributing it. Thankfully, I found a  good source, but to get the price right I had to buy quite a bit...QUITE a bit. I cannot whine, as titanium manufacturers and brokers like large orders since its a pain in the ass to make the stuff and its always better to sell more.
So, if you were thinking titanium, this is a good time to call....
