Besides litespeed,who else has complete Ti bikes? I dont 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.

merlin metalworks... not sure about their web site though.
