Back on topic......I own a Ti bike (Litespeed) and a CF bike (Cervelo). My Litespeed isn't even remotely 'dead'. It has found that sweet spot where responsiveness and comfort perfectly meet. Unless it breaks I'll own that frame forever. The CF bike is nice, but it has no soul. It's just a piece of equipment. It's an example of the current technology and I like it a lot, but I won't have any reservations about selling it when I decide it's time for a newer CF bike.
