I'm doing a longterm project and the end result will be a nice new frame with a mix of campi chorus and centaur. i have a frame with campi veloce on it now, so i'm going to upgrade components and eventually transfer them to a new frame.

i plan on spending a nice chunk of change on this, so i want to think everything through. i'll have plenty of time to do that because it'll take a while to get the money and parts for it.

as far as frame, i want something with race geometry. i'm going to some racing. likely it'll be crits. I don't want carbon, either stays or whole frame. fwiw, i'll likely ride a 58-60.

also, i want lesser known brands, non-mainstream if you will. so price at this point is no concern.

if you're gonna crit race just get a cannondale and call it a day.

spend money on a club ride bike not a race bike that will likely wreck

I guess more important, i want to hear your experiences with the different materials. pros and cons and such

If money isn't an object, get a top end titanium rig...which is to say just about anything in ti because there's no real low end market in titanium. Cheap aluminum and carbon fiber do that better.

So, pick one of the well know ti brands...Serotta, Lynsky, Moots, Litespeed, Seven, Dean, Bill Holland, etc. Just be prepared to open the wallet.
