16 Years on ExPo. Whoa!!
Nice 
Yes good to know, I just had a lot of trouble finding anything XL in Ti that wasn't custom.. I'm 6'5 but 6'1 to 6'4 doesn't seem that odd (but those guys could fit on a 20" bike anyway)... I heard lots of rumors about it being "too soft" I guess.. You are probably right, I too would love one in a hard tail.. The guy on the Moots I was riding with, his weighed in at 19 lbs. But his frame was more than my whole bike, and mine was only 23lbs... So he paid $2-$3K for 3-4 lbs ... The Moots with the Ventana rear stays look nice...
I have been riding with quite a few guys on their Ventanas, guys I really trust who have a lot of years of experience, seem to be real dialed from first hand experience what is or isn't that good or bad... The Moots are nice but I am pushing more into the AM riding that I enjoy more, stuff that really shakes a lot of people bones including mine previously trying to keep up on the hardtail)... To date I've hardly been a full sus guy too, all I own are hard tails currently, 4 of them, the newest is that full rigid.. That said again psyched for the full sus, it will be my one bling, my one splurge for some time, I figure the technology isn't going to change to much other than little stupid stuff (headset diameter : ) but should be pretty solid. So with luck ride this to the grave, assuming I got all my math right and it really will fit me well... Anywhoo, rambling away...
Also you guys might know Kavic... He's down in Arizona doing land cruiser stuff. Here is a link to some of the stuff he did when he was still doing frames:
