Friend of mine had one ages ago from XACD or whatever they were called and it snapped. You also have to be very careful specifying stuff - they will build exactly what you spec. and won't assume anything. If Ti appealed I'd probably go with Burls, I think Bike Whisperer has a relationship with them. But I just don't get the material. Steel, alu and carbon all work for me and Ti always seems like an expensive option for little benefit (if say looking at a Kinesis alu frame vs. their Ti ones).
