Might be worth reaching out. When they redid my seatpost they offered Eriksen branding. Maybe, just maybe they’d do the same for a frame? Unsure, obviously.
And yeah, all of the above have worked with Ti for at least two decades I think. Bedford is the best value for money out of those IMO. I like his branding too. Genuine master of his craft.
But FF is undoubtedly the smartest. Waitlist was 13 months as of April by the way. That may have changed slightly now.

When I was narrowing my build down I had extensive discussions with Brad about the branding. He was happy to build it as an Eriksen frame if I wanted but intends to phase that out this year and exclusively build under his brand. I'd imagine he'd be flexible on type face / logo though. He came across as a really nice guy and if its welding and craft perfection you want you can't beat him. The only reason I didn't go with him was the import taxes.

All those options are good I think. The biggest priority for me is experience with the material. If I can't get through to DeSalvo, I might try and go on the Firefly waitlist. In the case of Bingham, I really can't deal with the brand at all - other wise I would love to buy from him.
The appeal to me about DeSalvo is the quality of the welds and the curvy seat stays. And the price. I basically want to get a ti bike that looks and rides like a speedvagen og1, but without the integrated seatpost.
