Titanium Frame Repairs/Modifications

All,

I have a titanium frame that I am looking to have the rear dropouts replaced.

Any recommendations on frame builders for a project like this?

Thanks,

pys

+1 to Dave Levy @ TiCycles. TiCycles once did the repair work for Moots, and the outfit is highly regarded.

I love my custom Habanero all road frame designed around Paul Mini Motos. But I'm also really curious about the new SRAM 13 speed stuff, so I'm dreaming of having a UDH hanger welded on. Am I nuts?

You can probably get a new chinese-made titanium frame in the same geometry and tubing as your Habanero for the same price or less than what it would cost to retrofit your current bike.
