Good clean welds there. Ever tried TIGing Titanium? I'm about to have my first go at welding the WonderMetal itself. I got a huge box of titanium scrap from Enigma, so I reckon it's about time I gave it a go.
Brommers-
It was a totally unnecessary level of clean for application, but was just pissing around finding max flow before arc blowing.
I haven't welded with ti for a few reasons. I've never personally been a fan of ti bikes when I've ridden them, they just leave me a bit cold. Also, having worked in the cycle trade for long enough I've seen so many cracked ti bikes I just don't want the hassle. Finally, having had glimpses of how other industries maintain clean welds (bubbles, chambers etc) I just don't think I'm capable of doing it properly without horrendous outlay. Finally finally, sourcing reliable well made ti is an arse.
(I am not saying there aren't people making good ti bikes, just that I won't be one of them).

Out of interest what thickness tubes were enigma using?

Lots of argon for 953...
