I must take pics of the various ti frames I have. Maybe I'll get time over the weekend. Raleigh team ti, DBR Axis TT, GT Lightning, Lite speed obed FS, cove hummer, rock lobster team ti (why did they clear coat it??), on one ti 29er, Airborne Corsair. I think that's all.

Looks like the ibis welds have been smoothed off, which is rare with ti or steel, much more common on the large aluminium joins.

I imagine there's mechanical assistance on most of these - although some look a little more freehand?
