Albannach-Custom Ti

My latest build, my first Titanium frame, and my first with electronic gears. Wanted a new 'winter bike' which for me means disc brakes and ability to fit full mud guards. Looked at the usual off the shelf suspects but didn't find anything which ticked all the boxes, hence went custom, and ended up dealing with Albannach, Jim the founder was a pleasure to deal with.
Neat internal cabling for the rear brake:
Have to say I'm very impressed with Etap, set up was straight forward and shifting something else after mechanical campag.
During it's first proper ride out today:

Fantastic looking bike - I'm green with envy.
Where has Albannach sprung from in the Ti bike world. It's never been mentioned before in any of the "which Ti bike" threads that I've read. Plenty of Enigma, Burls, Van Nicholas etc. Seems on the evidence here that Albannach is a real contender for inclusion.
Having looked on their website can you confirm the the £1500 price quoted is just for the frame. A suitable fork/steerer would be extra on top.0 -
