You could try Omega cycles in Brighton, they do off the peg and made to
measure titanium frames. I do know they don't like "braze-ons" in areas of
maximum stress, for their own frames they use a band-on front derailleur for
just that reason so you may find rack mounts OK but disc mounts not
adviasble - this is assuming your forks are titanium, it is not unusual to
have a titanium frame with quality steel forks.
Anyway their contact details are UK office and showrooms

Cool, I've just emailed Omega and I'm waiting their response. I'll post the
answers...

By the way, I just wanted to add disc mounts to the frame as I have a
rockshox on the front...

later
