I agree on the Kona bikes,

I used to manage a bicycle shop in a past life, the kona Ti frame was produced by Sandvic and used the standard 3.2 Ti, but there was a version available that used the 6.4 Ti version. Currently Kona does not make or use a Ti frame, but buying a Ti bike is a lifelong commitment, and I would suggest riding some different bikes for frame size, geometry and feel before purchasing.

No offense to above but, Airborne frames were pretty junky(advertised as an affordable mail order Ti frame/bike) , welds were of poor quality, (produced in some third world country by a child chained to a bench with nothing but a bowl of hot steam for lunch) so seeing that some one broke one comes as no surprise to me. as for Litespeed that seem odd but anything can be broken......

for The best Ti frames out there, Moots, Seven, Dean, Kona (just to name a few) are really well made and you can even order custom sizes.....
