Hi all,

A colleague has asked about having a  titanium frame built or getting
a titanium bike.  He has come to me but as I don't frequent that price
bracket I have come to you.  He's looking for a frame in sub £800
range, preferably built to his size rather than off the peg.

Suggestions for shops with excessively good prices, which he will
travel to, or with a web presence and builders who are able to work to
'reasonable' costs gratefully received.

There was a place in Norfolk I looked at some years ago, I think the
name was something to do with women on bikes but they held a mixed and
good priced stock,  the name has gone though?

I thought it was something like that but it just seemed wrong on so
many levels :)  Thanks for those Alan/Dave... keep them coming all.
