If I was to want some new dropouts welding to my ti frame, where would be a good place to it done?

Vernon Barker has come up on a few searches, but the website doesn't seem to be working - does the business still exist?

Enigma would be a good choice.

I've read some less than complimentary (complementary?) things about Vernon Barker on here recently.

cynic-al could probably set you up with some duck tape, coat it in carbon and send you out on it! 😉

VB's site only works in ie. The general consensus is he's really good with steel & alu but not very neat with ti

maybe. 🙁
barely ridden it since I got the centre-track. But space at home is going to be an issue in the near future as the baby-buggy will be re-appearing from the loft.

Alternative idea is to put the Rohly and other gubbins on the Kona. but I really, really like the Voodoo.
