That's a boat load of generaliaities too.Ever heard of different Ti alloys and tubing diameters ,butting and shaping.Ti can be fabricated to ride almost any way one wants, and CF can be manipulated even more. It's how it's built and rider size and weight too.Does not anyone get that part? Aluminum can and has been made too wimpy.Generalities don't fly and do the reader a disservice.And, for the part about a high end bike not being a 10 year bike.....WHAT A LOAD!! Why don't you check with Grant Petersen at Rivendell, or Richard Sachs, among many others on that one bub.
