Early examples of Ti road bikes were Speedwell & Teledyne. Both made around the mid '70s & a little later. I've got 2 Speedwells, but still looking for a clean Teledyne Titan in my size... You can spot a Teledyne right away by the squeezed section for the shifter clamp on the down tube.
The Speedwell uses tubes the same OD as most steel frames of the day; no crimped areas.
