Work with stainless all the time, preferably 953 if tubing, stainless jewellry (drop outs, bosses etc) supplied by PMW. Problem with stainless is it's much more moody about cleanliness than other things, and you needs back purging so ££££.
I have never seen the appeal in titanium, a lot of that is to do with working in bike shops for years and having to deal with cracked ti all the time, partly the ride characteristics that people like with ti is not my bag. It's incredibly moody to work with, and having seen how the weld with it in other saftey critical industries was enough for me to say 'fuck that I'm not touching it with a ten foot barge pole. I'm not saying that there isn't great builders working with ti, or that it is inherently bad, it's just I can't be fucked.

What is your favourite tubing?
Have you ever worked with titanium / stainless steel or do you want to?
Sorry, dumb questions.
