Looking to share costs with importing a Titanium frame from China with WA person.

A friend of mine wants to get a titanium mountain bike frame from China. He
wants to use it for touring in Europe. Importing two frames at a time
reduces the freight costs by half because two frames will fit in one box and
the cost of wiring the money can be shared. I presently have three titanium
framed bikes made by this company. My MTB cost me US$ 515 which included a
ti seat post, ti double butted handlebar, titanium head stem and freight. My
triathlon bike frame was cheaper.

Anyone interested, let me know.

Well I have but the website operator doesn't seem to like anything except
pure triathlon stuff on the website, so I didn't put it there.

Within the next month or two, there's no great rush at this stage.
I think it costs about US$50 to get the frame customised. Someone I know has
had a custom frame made and I can put you onto them for further info.

My custom frame was $US340.
If somebody was looking to put a bulk order through I am interested in get a
set of two of the quick release skewers.
I have no idea how much these are though.
