Ti rocks
Not sure what my favorite manufacturer of Ti bike parts is though.

Whoever made the red paint for my bike, because red makes it faster.

i would have to agree that red paint makes a bike go faster. also how rigid of a ride is carbon compared to other materials?

I don't like Aluminum but if I did buy one it would probably be a Principle (sp?). I prefer steel over any other material except maybe TI, but steel is more cost effective; and several manufactures come to mind, Sachs (too expensive for me, best American made steel race frames), Colnago, Cinelli (both of these are best from Italy), Rivendell (too expensive for me) or Atlantis for Rivendell, (best touring lugged steel bikes).
Campy components (more small replacement parts and better quality); Cateye computers and rear lights(superior customer service); Cygo lights (best value for the money); Brooks Saddles (best seats on the market); Specialize Armadillo tires (best flat protection) or Conti 4 Seasons (best balance between flat protection and weight).

My choice for frame material is Cromo-steel. Rides well, takes a hit, can be repaired. Ti is out of my price range,....and I'm not shure I really need a Ti frame.
A HQ Chromo takes me everywhere I want to go, does everything I need.
My bike has a 14 year old Ritchey Logic headset that WORKS. Only reason I have not pulled it and got a new one....... The stupid old thing works just fine.
Kinda WISH it would grind so I could replace it with some shiny new.
I'd slap most any Ritchey component on my bike, he makes it all.
