I contacted Titan in March 2021 and they quoted me these prices for a bespoke titanium Swift with disc brake mounts:

Ti frame & fork $1200
Ti seatpost 31.6 x 600 $95
Ti headset $80
Ti integrated stem $105
Ti bullhorn handlebar $95
Ti stem clamp $25
EMS Shipping cost $200
​​​​​​The shipping was to Spain, and as such Trump taxes didn't appliy.

How many pre-ordered framesets do you reckon you need to make this worth your while? How many bikes would Titan need in order to derive a bulk discount? While It seems like a bargain to get a bespoke titanium frameset for under $1500 we are heading into a turbulent economy where people might be cutting back on luxuries, so the cheaper the better, I guess.

Anyways, very intriguing!
