You say you want ti, but eliminated a lot of builders because of the price. To really get what you want, you may have to evaluate that. I am happy with my ti bike, made by Guru. They will pretty much make you what you want, or they have a large line of stock bikes, too. Components also can really raise the price, so that's something to consider. My ti bike is built as a relaxed geometry road bike. I wanted a rack, so I could use a trunk bag and a pannier at the same time, or just a small rear bag. I got a ti rack. I looked at several touring bikes, both stock and custom, but given my difficulty with mechanical change (as compared to what I have on my carbon bike), I opted out of that, because I wanted sti shifters. So, while this is not a bike to do long self supported tours on, with a few changes, it could have been. I have 25 mm tires on it and I can put larger ones on, if I needed to go on dirt.
My carbon bike weighs 14.7 pounds, without the bag I have on it. I did not want another bike that was heavy. I didn't like my Jamis Coda because of the weight. The ti Guru, weighs about a pound more than the carbon. It's awesome.
