Tbh, having desired titanium frames since the early 90s and eventually owning four of them - I don't think they are all they are cracked (!) up to be. Describing them as forever frames or offering a lifetime guarantee - is bordering on misselling imo. I think they are assuming a Sunday morning rider doing a gentle few tens of miles with their mates each time over a decade or two. And that may not be unfair, as most of the people I see riding them are older chaps doing just that (probably because they can finally afford their dream).
Don't get me wrong, the ride can be absolutely lovely and it is fantastic how they keep their looks and don't corrode. But it takes real skill to produce one that has both longevity and the right feel. Van Nicholas didn't manage it, for example. My VN looks great, has lasted well, but feels a bit leaden in comparison to my others. The Wittson (actually a 4-T made by the same guys) cracked twice, but rode wonderfully until then. The Sunn Morati I had was just a tad too flexy and was too small anyhow so sold it on. I suspect it takes a decade or more to develop the necessary skill - and a small boutique builder may not build enough to develop it or the ability to stand by their warranty. I wouldn't touch the cheap Chinese ones either for different reasons.
Also some people are just hard on bikes. I used to be one of them - but either I've changed or the bikes have. It may not be bad riding. A friend who admittedly was a bit of a unit ovalised the bottom bracket of several Cannodale frames in the space of less than a year before they decided to simply give him his money back.
I suspect, unlike steel, we will see very few 30, 40, 50+ year old titanium frames survive and be regularly ridden in the coming decades.
That is a very inventive listing. They've put in the effort for the pictures for sure.
