Guessing it may be a Sars?

Doesn't give any indication of geometry nor recommended fork length.

Does not say if it is commercially pure titanium(not very strong) or what type of Ti alloy (eg 6/4, 3/2.5).
The way that (the style) the dropouts are fixed to the seat/chain stays looks a lot like the way that the Merlin cycles / Rock Lobster Ti frames used to be.

What it does say is that they're made by the same people his other Ti bikes come from, which are Van Nicholas.

Chap has responded saying he doesn't have any geometry diagrams but is happy to measure the frame.

Not the best way to try to sell top end frames, most potential customers I would expect would be interested in this info.

you just have to accept that some people do not have a clue on ebay - its why some things are cheap to buy!

I would think that if you open a shop dedicated to cycling then you should have this sort of information.

As for cheap. Well that's only a few hundred less than getting a custom Ti frame and still more than a lot of very, very good frames.

He's doing the Zion for £50 more - why not just go for that and have peace of mind? I have one and as Tony says 'they're great'

Also consider a Ti Pipedream. Saw them at the Bristol BB at the weekend and have just ordered one.

Get the plus of specifying logo type, drop-out type and cable routing.

They probably come from somewhere like this;

and have had the branding removed. As far as I know, they are much the same as the Van Nicolas/Airborne minus a couple of tweaks

I'd sell you a barely used 2009 Charge Duster Ti (2010 graphics)with CK headset for the same price...oh and deliver it (within reason).

No warranty on a 2nd hand frame/ warranty on a cheap ebay jobbie?
