I think titanium is overated. I bought a 2003 Lemond Arrivee and built it out with a combination of Dura-Ace and Ultegra components. It's a nice ride but no better than my Jamis eclipse which is has Reynolds 853 frame. In fact I prefer the Jamis. My favorite bike is my Scott Cr-1 with a cabon fiber frame. Carbon fiber wins in my opinion.
