What’s this Ti bike?

Definitely looks titanium to me - Circa 2004? I don’t recognise the model, but someone will.

Unusual details ..

- polished finish
- dropped tt at seatube
- big ugly gussets on tt
 
Looks Ti to me also, especially around the dropouts.
 
Where the dropouts are welded to the stays looks more like a Ti bike than alu, same for the machined head tube. The sheen of the metal and the contrast to the definitely ally seatpost make me think Ti.
 
It’s aluminium - the parts were originally mounted to a small MerlinXLM that I was bidding on until he retracted all bids as the ‘frame had a crack’. I guess someone made an offer although he couldn’t refuse
