The good news is that it is Titanium but not the same high quality grade as the frame, but a purer form, titanium 99%, 0.5% tungsten. i'll check what the end cap welded on the frame is tomorrow.

Spill how'd you test it?

XRF analyser.

'Round' in the pics? I'd book an eye test. It's the same oval shape as it is on the frames!

How many Xizang's had to die to make these key chains? He has sold a hundred of them since 2009. Thought maybe he worked at a metal stamping shop but judging from his other items they seem legit.

MAKE AN OFFER! He has accepted $10/~6.25 GBP for these. Anytime you see make an offer check their feedback to see how low the seller may go.

It's not ivory, you can make end caps without killing Xizangs!

Put the Xizang back together and bought it into work today, interestingly the whole frame including the braces between seat and chain stays are all Ti325 (Ti-3Al-2.5V), as is my USE seatpost and titec taperwalll bars.

A bit of a surprise is the end cap which comes up as the higher grade Ti-6Al-4V, weird, probably just what was laying around spare.
