It is the ideal stiffness for the rider and has done some rough rides. I would likely not use it for Paris Roubaix, other than that great all around.

It is on the expensive side, but not as much as some composite ones. It uses T20 Ti bolts that require precise torque.

Doge, a little off topic but - I like that slammed stem and the fat spacer above! My mid-season criterium mode back in the quill days. First ride in the spring, my stem was up that spacer. Midway for 4-5 hour races.
