I can't picture myself going for this titanium bow TiGr silly thing. Titanium is very challenging to machine but isn't too much trouble to cut
I'm going to have to take some exception to that second point; titanium may cut relatively easily with the right tools, but that doesn't actually make it any less useful as a bike lock, at least in this case. Try taking an angle grinder to titanium, or watch the video they posted and you'll see why. You'll also see why titanium is used in so many fireworks. Hot titanium glows a rather brilliant white, and would draw quite a bit of attention.
