Can anyone direct me to a frame builder that works titanium in Perth?
While a bike frame builder is the obvious direction I am considering it for a unicycle. Geometry issues are hard to stuff up on a unicycle so it may be OK to broaden it outside of just bike frame builders even though they would be my preferred choice.
Any suggestions on either?

Try Aldo at Quantum cycles?
Located at Angove / Scarbourgh beach road.
He repaired my Ti frame.
Cheers

I had Aldo build my touring bike many years ago while i lived in Perth.
A few years ago I was looking at 2 more but sadly he said it wasn't worth his time to build them.
He now only repairs frames, especially Carbon. Thats where the money is.
He did build a great bike though.
Baum may be the only one building Titanium. Based in Vic they're too expensive.

You could try Allan Crisp at Crisp engineering. I know he has built a couple of titanium frames, and he is a keen MTB rider.

I have never ridden one of his bikes so I can't comment on price or quality.

Could try Chris at CyclesBespoke in Bayswater. He builds his own frames under Jonesman... I don't definitively know that he builds Ti, but I know he builds plenty of steel, and apparently he learned his craft with Dekerf who build some pretty exotic Titanium frames.
Worth a call to ask anyways!

Pretty sure that Chris Jones is not building frames anymore, I am going for a custom Ti Dekerf though Cycles Bespoke currently, and I am pretty sure he would have offered his own frame first if that was an option.

A fellow member on here picked himself up a nice 'Jonesman' very recently...!
I don't know if that is a decision he's made since, though.
I do hear that he might only turn out a couple of frames a year... Maybe he is just too busy to get to more and feels that he needs to outsource the frame (mind, I don't think you'd be angry with a Dekerf!)... Or, maybe he doesn't work with Ti and prefers to stick with Steel... who knows?!
