Funny you should ask... I recently cracked my '08 Kestrel Talon carbon frame, AND bought the Motobecane titanium frame only from Bikes Direct to move the components on to while Kestrel is figuring out whether they are going to cover it under the warranty! I have only ridden it a few times, but so far I LOVE it! It is steady, fast, handles beautifully, and of course it's titanium so it theoretically will last longer than any other frame material out there. It is a little heavier, but hasn't seemed to slow me down, surprisingly especially uphill. I can really accelerate on this bike the same as I did with the Talon.

Hope that helps! I'm getting it fitted on Monday and expect to do a 50-60 miler next weekend, so I'll follow up if anything changes!
