It was a general info type of question really. My second hand custom Roberts (from 2004 I think) has braze on and wondered why. Cheers anyway, enjoy your ride!

No no I know. My Talbot has one too. I think it’s a bit more common on steel because they are brazed on (Obvs lol) whereas TIG welding one onto a seat tube would be incredibly fiddly. Just a guess as to why they’re uncommon on Ti though.

Also I suspect because there are no commercially available Ti front derailleur hangers, as far as I know. I'm not even sure you can do investment cast pieces in titanium, so they'd have to be machined from billet, which would be extremely expensive. And wasteful.
