I've just built a titanium hardtail. It's made by Cotic - https://www.cotic.co.uk
It's called the Soda and is designed for a 5 inch fork. They also do a Reynolds 853 steel hardtail called the Soul.
I've built it up as follows:
Frame: Cotic Soda
Forks: Pace RC41 XCAM
Headset: Chris King NoThreadset
Stem: Syntace F99/254 with titanium bolts - 6 deg
Bars: Race Face Next XC Low Riser carbon
Grips: ODI Ruffian Lock-On 120mm & 90mm
Shifter: SRAM X.0
Brake system: Hope Mono Mini with Goodridge hoses
Wheels: Mavic Crossmax XL
Tyres: Kenda Nevegal Stick-E
Cassette: Shimano XT CS-M760 - 11-32t
Chainset: Extralite Extralite E-Bones W / rings / bolts / 32 / bash
Pedals: Crank Brothers Egg Beater - Triple Ti
Rear mech: SRAM X.0 rear short cage 2006 model
Chain: SRAM PC-99 Hollow Pin
Saddle: SDG I-Beam Bel Air ST
Seatpost: SDG I-Beam - 27.2 x 350mm
Seatpost clamp: Hope quick release
Weighs around 22 lbs.
The Egg Beater pedals work best with XC style shoes with stiff soles. This winter I'll be running softer soled waterproof shoes with the Crank Brothers Acid pedal.
