Can anyone point me in the right direction? It doesn't have to be the lightest, but if I'm going to spend the money for a custom titanium fat bike, I want it to be as light as I can afford.

Thanks

We've been thinking about the same thing!
I think Bikesdirect has the best deal I have seen in a Titanium fat bike. They have framesets too.

Better deal to buy the whole fat bike, sell off what you don't want - the mulefut wheels are $400 to $700 and Bluto forks are like 600 bucks
heck, you could buy the bike, sell off the wheels and fork and have a ti fatbike frame AND drivetrain for around a grand?

Complete titanium bike $2299

Frame and Bluto fork $1499

if you buy the frameset and sell off the fork, you are into a ti fat bike frame for less than a grand BUT, no drivetrain which it's $ to get a decent fatbike crank/bb - at least $150 and up?

I'm struggling to get any benefit on a fatbike of a Ti frame, aluminium or carbon would appear to be more logical, perhaps you can enlighten?

For Carbon fatbike just look at Ali Express I came to look for recumbent trikes Some weeks ago and remember My query also came up with Carbon fatbikes. Looks cool tho.
