Why do all the Ti bikes look like the old 80s steel bikes? I.e. Thin tubes that seem to accentuate the longer head tubes that people that need custom Ti bikes would need.
I'm not having a go, I honestly don't know... Can they not use thicker tubing with Ti? Are they not able to taper the tubes or flare them at certain points?
I think they look a little ugly as is.
