I have never seen, much less ridden a Pride bike. However I have a ti bike and used to own a GT, which also used a "dual junction" geometry. My observations:

1. I love ti frames for my road bike, but I don't have a clue if they are a good choice for a TT bike.
2. That "dual junction" geometry will definitely stiffen the bike and the ride, maybe to a point where the vibration dampening qualities of titanium are lost. My GT was an aluminum frame and a 25 mile ride on it would shake the fillings right out of your teeth. I've heard from others that Cervelo's aluminum P1 TT bike feels the same way. But that's supposed to be no big deal to triathletes.
