Pros:
Solid frame, light enough, good welds/alignment. Clean simple look.
Fun to ride, eats up rocks and roots.
Cons:
Ti doesn''t climb as well as almuminum. The flex that smooths the road can also be a little unnerving at high speed, wobbly?
Time Used:
More than 2 years
Comments:
fun bike to ride. Couldn''t be more sound. Since I move away from mountains, switched a straigt steel fork and drop bars for killer urban asalt bike. You can beat this frame.

Pros:
One of the most excellent works of craftsmanship I have ever witnessed in a bike. The welds are perfection of the highest order, and overall the quality is awesome. I paid only $675 dollars for this frame NEW on eBay. Just look around... where else could you even buy a new titanium frame for under $1500? Not litespeed, not merlin, not moots! Honestly one of the best bike frame I have ever had the honor of owning.
Cons:
none so far, none expected
Time Used:
3 Months

Ok folks... if you have an extra $675 dollars lying around.. race to ebay right now and pick up one of the last g-man frames from tst. Once they run out... they are gone Forever! Ride one of these frames... and you'll wonder why you had ridden anything else in the past. Plush ride over rough trail sections... this is where the titanium frame really shines. Plus a very cool chi-chi factor to boot! I will give this frame 5 flaming jalapenos... and 10 if I could! Seriously though... try one out if you can, you won't regret the experience. 100% satisfied with this beautiful frame.

The welds/construction of this frame are of high quality. I built mine up with a mix of xtr/sram drivetrain and a 100 mm marzocchi fork and couldn't be happier with it. It feels great on the rocky singltrack and is really fun to hammer trails with.. Best of all is is super cheap..
