IDK, i've contact them about building frames and they replied like a year later. I do know those aero frames were sold in the US by a company based out of Arizona or new Mexico at some point. A Ti first gen Allez sprint is kind of a cute concept, though its probably heavy and pretty stiff.
The Helix tubing doesn't really make sense on a bike except for aesthetics. The shape is ~20% stiffer for the same nominal dimensions and wall thickness but takes ~30% more material. It will be more resistant to dings and dents i guess.

I have deal with them last year. Once you get their attention the communication is fast. And quick turn around of the whole build. Less than 2mos if im not mistaken.
I have attached the frame they built.

wow very nice! is that sandlblasting?

Yes, it is. I checked with them again. Still same price as last year. I think 550-700 depending on the style/tube for the road frame.
