They responded that Rapid-Titan is the manufacturer of at least some of Eclipse Ti bikes. I don't know if they did the later ones with carbon rear ends.

Sorry to hear about your frame; is the chainstay titanium or carbon? I understand that titanium is easily repaired by a qualified titanium welder.

Thanks for the info. Rapid-Titan's web page mentions that they produced frames for various vendors in North America and Europe. My frame is all Ti, and I haven't found any non-Eclipse frames similar to mine on the internet. The rear dropouts have a unique feature - two 7mm circular cutouts in each dropout - which is consistent with the current Rapid-Titan road model. I'd be curious about what other vendors used this frame.
