Another Airborne rider! I have a Carpe Diem that I bought in 2001. Like you, I have had no issues with the frame. I'm about 200 pounds and have about 7,000 miles on the frame. I have kept the Ti seatpost well-greased with copper-based lubricant and have had no issues with seizing or cold-welding. I got mine sight-unseen after my LBS refused to get it for me; now he refers to it as "your Huffy" because Huffy owned Airborne at the time. I've been very happy with the bike, and have done several century rides on it.
