There's two local guys who build my wheels and they do a great job. The best wheel builder I ever used however was a woman who used to run a LBS until she decided she was too crotchety and ran away to the Blue Mountains to hide. So yeah, you're half right
2006 is the first official year, with dedicated models. Previously if someone asked for a Ti frame we could sell them one, but now we're actively promoting them. (Infact, the dude who's been posting with the handle 'Royale'? That's his Ti frame in the gallery.)
