Pro ti titanium frame
I found a bike locally with this frame in all reality i want bike more for components but was curious in the frame guy said he paid 1200 7yrs ago for it hes only ashing 300 its got ultegra on it with mavic open wheels and look pedals. Also if its even a decent frameh how would i go about making sure that its in good shape i know titanium is hard to weld and if not done right could result in injury? Thank

$1200 for a Ti frame with ultegra new? Does not compute. Not even 7 years ago.

The thing is, cheap Ti frames are still going to run you about a grand. There's no way to do Ti for cheap.

Nice looking bike and looks like it could possibly be a very good deal.

Stolen bike? I say this because it appears the seller doesn't know the value of the bike. Unless something is very wrong with it like a bent frame

...As long as something, ANYTHING, other than the frame is good, that's an amazingly low price. Like suspiciously low.

I believe...now don't quote me, but I think a local rider here had a ti frame like that, from "pro ti". A Chinese company using Russian titanium alloys, from back when they were flooding the market with the stuff.
His broke, but he liked it well enough until then.

This one is called Precision Ti. I think Colorado Cyclist used to sell an upgraded version of this bike that was called Pro Ti.
