I’ve built about 5 titanium frames in a row and now I have a hand-full of steel to do. I don’t prefer one over the other but am looking forward to working with steel for a while. The variety is nice. I’m starting a couple Extralites this week. One for a customer out east and the other to test some process concepts and try a new frame decal design.
Below are pictures of Bob G’s titanium frame. It’s done and going off to paint.
