But that's a bit like saying to a weight lifter that he will never injure himself as long as he doesn't lift more than X amount of weight. Obviously steel and ti are very good frame materials, as are others, but the "no fatigue limit" characteristic of those materials is obviously only a part of the equation, because steel and ti frames do fail from fatigue sometimes.
