Granted prices have gone up in the last few years and the current exchange rate isn't helping but a custom Ti frame from Waltly is still sub £1k.
You seem to have a clear idea of what you want in terms of geo, clearances, angles etc. I think people run into problems going custom if they don't know what they want or try and get a bike to do too much. Anyhow I'm interested to see what you end up with and how it turns out.

Not really my thing at all.
I don't like Ti (or the idea of it - never having actually ridden it) and I don't like the idea of custom from having seen people get custom frames and end up with something they didn't like. And surely custom Ti can't be cheaper than an off-the shelf Chinese frame, ie sub-£1k? Got to be 3-4 times more, at least, surely?
