Neither is an entry level bike, nor the top end. Ti is not over rated.
So you decide to wrap it up all by yourself with your opinion?
You base your "final" opinion on a comparison with a Litespeed Ultimate? They haven't been made for years and are a mix of very soft and flexible Ti fabrication with a stout downtube to compensate.
