It's interesting that the frame has a tapered head tube. Common these days but not so much on titanium frames. I suppose it is to allow for a larger diameter downtube for stiffness. But where does a tapered titanium head tube even come from? Is that an off-the-shelf item one simply purchases from a supplier or do they have some sort of mandrel to form their own? Seems like forming titanium would not be an easy task.

Also, their Aurora and Reactor Ti frames are super interesting with the carbon seat tubes!
