Anything wrong with Airborn Zepplin titanium frames?
$550
I know that the 105 parts are good...
2003 Airborne Zeppelin frame, with 9spd 105 parts from a Cannondale, Coda Hubs, Mavic CXP 21 rims. Sweet, fast bike. Pedals included, unless you don't need em!
Works perfect; clean, tight, and lubed, new cables.

Other than Airborne has been out of business for quite a while. Do a search on this.
Sounds like a reasonable price, if the frame is the right size for you.

Yeah, they went out of business, but their bikes generally got good reviews and I never heard of any quality issues. I owned a Flyte Al frame (Flyte was Airborne's attempt at resurrecting itself) and was really happy with it. As long as it's in good shape frame-wise I'd say go for it. Ti should last forever.
