Back in the Pre-pandemic days, I bought a fair amount of titanium bits from Toronto Cycles: things like brake fittings and chainring hardware.

The parts I bought weren't expensive, and they sure look great even years later.
Anyone know of another place to buy Ti hardware in small quantities?
Stainless chainring fasteners on the left; Ti on the right. All these fittings have been in service.
