For what it's worth, Habanero sells Ti frames for US$695. This is, if you
compare it to other brands (Seven, Merlin, etc) _amazingly_ cheap.. (no, I
don't own one, but everyone that does seems to be very happy; see, for
instance,
http://www.mtbr.com/reviews/Frameset/product_21140.shtml)
Also, the company owner hangs out on the newsgroups and chats, which always
makes me feel positive towards a company; Airborne also make cheap Ti
frames, but they don't have that presence.
