Again...I was told on two threads that titanium was controversial. I haven't been here long enough to have seen the argument, so I asked why I was told that. The thing I'm learning from this thread is that it's not controversial so much as some people prefer steel.

Speaking for myself...it's difficult to really judge frame feel when the tires, seat post and saddle are different on the bikes...but I LOVE how my ti feels. I also love how fast and light it is. My recent SLX De Rosa acquisition has a more firm, solid feel...and I love that too. Both feel notably better than my reynolds 531 Raleigh...but that could be tires...etc.
