Agree completely with post 37 - I've also had plenty of steel bikes and aluminum bikes since getting my first high-end race bike in 1965 but no ti bikes. Steel can break, aluminum can break, titanium can break, but the failure rates for all three frame materials are very low (because of mature fabrication technology), so ride whatever you like. To me, titanium is OK stuff, but my aluminum bikes cost and weigh less and ride so well that I have no interest in other frame materials.
