Firefly seems to have formula for creating bike sexiness in titanium.

Shiny.
Digging the horizontal top tube.

Yeah, that's a beauty. Love the classic rear triangle sans wishbone that everyone's gone to and the straight blade forks. The matte black is a great way to go low key on a Ti frame.
The only thing I'm not wild about is that big stub of excess head tube above the top tube joint, looks a bit out of place on an otherwise svelte frame.

matte black looks great,
They're welded.Lugs join tubes with either glue or brazing in a solder-like joint--the glue or brazing material is wicked by heat and capillary action into the tiny gap between the tubing and the lug.

where or who can paint aTi frame with that finish ?

That's funny you mention the rear triangle...their carbon/ti frame has "Firefly signature wishbone seatstays". but they only share this "signature" piece with the titanium CX frame...this version looks much better IMO.
