want to just get

the frame.

Just about every ti mfr sells "complete" bikes. For the
"best" deal, visit your local bike shop. A good LBS will
know how to fit and adjust the bike to your specific needs.

Any bike shop that will sell you a Ti frame will, I'm
certain, be happy to build it up to a complete bike. It's
no different than what Litespeed does with its frames when
it finishes with them. You can get quite a range of Ti
these days, from very intricate detail work on a Merlin to
basic but very good frames from Habanero, to name two
brands that I would look at. Probably also check out Seven
and the Ti Serottas.

Whatever you get, fit is the most important variable.

Add Douglas (made by Litespeed) and LeMond to the list.

Airborne makes some good entry level Ti frames, that they
will build into a complete bike with your specified
component groups. (www.airborne.net).

Another good source is Excel Sports (www.excelsports.com)
They do a very nice job (and competitive prices) on several
of the major mfgrs such as Litespeed and Merlin (Now both
under the same ownership) and they will customize the bike
kit to a decent degree.

Then again, look at www.merlinkbike.com and find a loca
Merlin dealer and go that route. Perhaps a bit more $$, but
custom fit, local service and direct mfgr rep from the
dealer....

Been there, done that! Love my Moots!

Couple comes into LBS and gets fitted for custom
Mootseses(?)

Bikes are built for riding in Tuscany...rough roads.

mechanic starts to tell them about packing, shipping, and
reassemblley.

Lady says that its OK. They are taking the bikes to their
Villa aboard the PRIVATE JET.

Must be nice!

I believe Douglas is actually made by Sandvik or whatever
the current name for their sports division is. Sandvik makes
a lot of OEM ti frames.

The Excel Sport house brand, Macaulu, is made by Litespeed.

Mmm... very nice :-)

Have a custom m'self. Kent was outstanding... spent about 2
hours on the phone discussing the exact details, because the
geometry/measurements on my old bike were a bit "strange" as
he had thought, so we worked it through and it fits
perfectly.

If you have a good bike shop near you, they could build up
any frame for you. I would look at a Habanero.

the first that comes to mind is Independent Fabrication
(ifbikes.com) also merlin metalworks... not sure about their
web site though.
