[Closed] Affordable TI bikes/frames - are they worth it as not so light weight?

Hi, so am looking for a light-ish hardtail trail bike (may build with a premium frame) with me selling an ultra light carbon xc bike that is 10kg and not enough travel etc. Like the idea of a titanium bike but frames are thin on the ground. The Titus fireline seems great value but the build is 13.4Kg???Then you look at Stanton bikes and for the same sort of money you get their Ti frame only:- with no weight published. Am I right in saying you need to spend the money here to get a decent light Ti frame? Seems some steel builds can weigh less than 13.4, could the best option maybe be going for a Sherpa Gen 3 with Reynolds 853 steel? Thanks - Ad

Ok now they tell me via email rather than Facebook..

"Warranty on all frames are 2 years except Titus and they are lifetime, its in the description under the bike, the frames are due in at the end of the month, and it should be roughly a 2 week wait after that, but until the frames actually arrive we cant give an exact date am afraid"
