Back in the Pre-pandemic days, I bought a fair amount of titanium bits from Toronto Cycles: things like brake fittings and chainring hardware. I was commuting in Chicago during the winter and thought Ti would hold up better than Stainless. I was right. Sadly, this source seems to be kaput. 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.
