Ein Titan Pinion P1.18 Rahmen ist wahrlich ein HILITE

I don't see a list of licensed builders at the Pinion site, but photo gallery notes some different builders. Don't know if any of those bikes in the gallery can be bought with S & S.
I saw that Hilite thread. That's a bit pricey for me, even though I'm already looking at some pretty expensive bikes. The pinion website has this page which allows you to sort through some of the manufacturers, but I can't find anyone offering a stock steel pinion bike with S and S as an option.

That's the rub, isn't it? I'd much rather buy something with the bike designed for couplers and installed as part of the initial build than have them added afterwards.
