Titanium Audax/Touring options

[CC Rider]

I'm looking to upgrade my winter/general bike and would like a titanium frame at a reasonable price. I don't mind about the age but, apart from mudguard and luggage mounts, I also want drop brakes and down tube shifters.
As far as I can see Spa Audax and Sabbath September could fit the bill - I think!
Van Nicholas and Dolan don't appear compatible with downtube shifters ..... and that's about all I've found
Any other suggestions or recommendations?
Thank you

I think the Spa is one of the best value framesets available. They also come up second hand as this thread shows:

Love my titanium spa audax
Rim brakes and down tube shifters too

What sizeare you after?
Given you want "heritage" gears and brakes, saving an ebay search should net you a bargain, as used bikes with rim brakes are trading supercheap as the POs change to disc.
