The thing with the Gios Compact is the seat angle. At 74* it's a bit steeper than usual. Since you have long legs/femur you might prefer sitting back and thus the shorter TT will be offset by the saddle setback (if you can push it back sufficiently in the first place! I have a compact 57cm and I'd like my saddle further back but my seatpost/saddle won't allow it).

For Ti I know Mike Terraferma in Florida can do it. I just got a steel frame from him. Local to me in Canada Marinoni can also do it, as well as custom carbon/Ti. Both these two are relatively affordable.
