I love the ride. Loved it from the one mile dirt road ride I did on a Merlin mountain bike in 1989. I now have two ti customs. Probably won't get another as these are for the rest of my life. So the market numbers will show a mild boost from me in the '10s, then the current slump. One problem for ti bike makers - a lot of their frames do not get replaced by a newer ti frame. They simply don't get replaced.
