Higher end Ti frames, particularly ones that would begin to approach the stiffness of a Cervelo RCA, still weigh around 1250 grams, e.g. Lynsky Helix.

Really expensive Ti frames get you custom, not necessarily light.

Besides you can get in the 700's with CF for way less than $10,000, for example C'dale EVO.
Just to brag, I got my brand-new EVO Hi-mod for less than $2k
