Damn...
I don't even want to think about what that much titanium tubing set him back, let alone the welding & forming setup. Some people have way too much money... and I should be one of them. [/bitter]

Somewhere in that thread he mentions a little bit of the costs involved. Seems like a lot of work for 12 lbs of weight savings, but like most DIY guys, I'm guessing that wasn't really the point.

FUCK THAT!
No way I'm riding on a frame made anywhere other than an approved mass production factory. Right, Ed?  http://www.twowheelfix.com/showthrea...ght=frame+weld
