 Titanium is hard to weld on, harder than aluminum, because it has to be submerged in argon or some other inert gas. Aluminum needs argon flowing through it, so props to the man who welded this frame. You got skillstup

 the tubing needs to be purged creating a vacuum inside and then have pure argon(99.999% pure, like 10 parts per million for best results) flowing to keep contaminates out of the backside of the weld, and shielding gas must be kept flowing on the weld until it cools to somewhere around 500F.... actually, other than the set up, Ti is easier to weld than aluminum, it's a lot more like stainless steel than aluminum, just the setup and preparation take a bit more effort.

when I was in school, Ti was something all of us were a afraid of touching, but after repairing a few Ti frames it quickly became my favorite metal to weld.

anyway, very nice job on the frame.... I can't imagine the total cost of that bike, very pretty.

 Titanium weights a little bit more than aluminium but is harder and more robust.
