quite a silly reason actually. I wanted to get new wheels for my carbon bike which I only started riding last year. When i got the wheels I had spare wheels, the bad ones, so i started looking for a cheapo frame to use the wheels then just when i thought i found the frame (it had to be cheap as an extra bike) i saw the deal on the Ti at pbk from a link here so i thoughtanother carbon is more of the same but a ti can be long term and different and can be ridden in winter.
