I believe it is the full Ti Omni Racer from Ebay.
Make sure you get the one with the M5 bolt as I've broken a couple M4 bolts on the other model.

Bookworm - Very nice indeed. We must be thinking on the same lines. I'm also refurbishing a TI frame and using the Ritchey Classic bar / stem combo.

Well, I am a bit of a ti fan!!!! Some past and present rides below. I also have a carbon Seven in the stable, my 2 Pegoretti's and a classic 531 steel winter bike. Not all WWs, but a nice mix of weight and ride quality - the main reason for going Ti after all. Carbon will generally be lighter, but nothing beats the ride quality of Ti. Even my steel bikes can't compete.

Independent Fabrication Ti Delux. The most race-ready bike in the stable. I have had 8 Sevens, but if I went for another ti bike, it would be Indy Fab, no questions:

Image

Seven Axiom SLX. Still with me. Super light, super fast.

Image

Seven Axiom SL. The most comfortable bike I have ever owned. Now no longer with me after a down sizing of the number of bikes I own. As you can see, it was eventually relegated to Winter bike duties. What a waste!

Image

Seven Tsunami. Still with me, and a wonderfully comfortable all day cross bike rather than an eyeballs-out short blast racer.

Image

Seven Single Speed 29er. The 1 bike I regret selling! Fast, light, comfortable and rare. Boo hoo!

Image

Seven Duo Lux. Just too strange and esoteric. Close your eyes and it was a great bike, but not super light, not exceptionally comfortable, and just a bit weird! Spares were difficult to get hold of and I never really got used to the bb moving underneath you resulting in a variable crank to saddle position. Ti is probably not the best material for an FS bike.

Image

Seven Axiom S. Built for speed, until I lost my flexibility with the passing years!

Image

Seven Sola. Replaced this with the Indy Fab. Lovely bike, but the Indy Fab is streets ahead in weight and ride quality.
