I know right? I have the AL version, Super stiff and fast. I love this bike! With the right seat post, tires, and tire pressure it is pretty plush. So curious as to how the Ti version would be different…
Wow, that is good to know. Lynskey always seems to be on sale, and Bikes Nashbar had Lynskey at Carver prices. Good to know what my alternatives are, thanks!
I bought a Litespeed road frame, my first ti bike, and built it up a couple years ago and it made me wonder what the hell I had been doing all my life. I've had many bicycles of all makes, materials, and formats in my life but now all of my bikes are titanium. I had 3, reduced to 2. Titanium would absolutely be my first choice of frame material if/when I were go bike shopping. Ride quality is the thing for me, durability being a great by product.
