Wheels Mfg made a small run out of titanium a while ago. I'd have bought a dozen.

And of note, the P2, like most tri bikes, lacks a replaceable hanger. Never had an issue; sturdy CF. At some point the R2 will be replaced by a cheap-ish steel frame with a non-replaceable hanger, like that Smoothie, or a Ritchey Logic.
