if you're willing to join the dark side (bikesdirect.com), Titanium is not that expensive anymore.

here's my BD.com titanium pony that i commute with every (non-rain) day. titanium frame, full ultegra everything, and decent mavic wheels for 2,000 bucks. i'd call that fairly affordable, or at least not egregiously expensive. there's even a lower end model of my bike that's only 1,700 bucks.
