Titanium Frame Builders

I'm considering a titanium frame and looking for uk based builders. They
must be able to do a custom build.
I've only found Enigma so far (and they can't help).

I've had one of James's track frames for a couple of years now, it's
been perfect. He's a nice helpful chap too! I don't believe they are
fabricated in UK (he prolly uses unemployed Russian defence workers or
some such) but it IS UK designed, managed and quality controlled and as
custom built as it's possible to get.

I'd love another one, I fancy a ti utility bike with hub gear and dyno
lights... perfect for those post Hubble-peak transport duties ;-)

They've shut up shop and gone to pastures green.

Ahh. Oh well, there you go... wonder what went wrong? Shame anyway.

Sorry for the old info :-(

Anyone know? I was at the point of ordering a frame, that's how I noticed.

Thanks, G.

Have you actually spoken to Mark at Enigma? They do measure you up fro
a bespoke frame and Mark can design it. The build quality is excellent
( although the frames are made in Taiwan).

They are running at full capacity with their current stock line according
to an email from Mark and can't help at present.
Didn't know they were made in Taiwan, the website is not clear on this.
I think I'll investigate 953 next....

Thanks, G.
