    I've used this before to play around with colours - the great thing with titanium is you can also go for polished and vapour-blast (matt) finish. This is the downtube of my custom ti fatbike where a mask was placed over the polished frame - based on traditional north american indian design:

    How about keeping it simple like Passoni?

    Someone had an "independent fabrications" Planet X on the Your Road Bike section of the forum, worth a while looking it up, was an absolute beaut ;)

    There was also a graphic designer that did an unreal job on his own bike, forget what he titled it though :(
