After considering them and seeing their prices, I wouldn't trust AC prices, they want more for a mass produced Taiwan Ti frame then I can buy from Lynsky or a number of other US builders. Milwaukee even sells US made and to me their pricing is the top end of what I would consider reasonable for a frameset that isn't a one-off custom. Plenty of decent Taiwan framesets that are less.
Personally I like the idea of the frameset, just not certain I can wait till next year to replace mine with one that's a better fit.
