I am looking to buy a titanium gravel bike. I have done a good amount of research and wanted to see if anyone had any advice or experience.

Example chumba bikes offer a 3 year warranty, which I'm not really interested in.
My top 3 choices as of now are:
1. Bingham built
2. DeSalvo
3. Seven
I was interested in Firefly but their lead time is 2.5 years. DeSalvo is currently 1-1.5 years. I haven't heard back from Bingham bikes yet but I'm hoping it's 6-12 months. I have also talked to Seven and their lead time is the best so far, being a bigger company. I was also interested in Moots but they don't really do a custom sizing and you're paying extra for the name too, though I know they are great bikes still.
Long story short does anyone ride any of these makers or have any other suggestions.Thanks!
