Do you think it's because he "over built" the tubing? I have to say while I put the titanium parts on my BF for weight reasons, I actually discovered how amazing it is at reducing road vibration and absorbing bumps, more than steel. If I'd had that experience already, I would have done it for that reason alone, weight saving being the bonus. If the Helix is a super ride, do you think buyers will go for it and plan on doing their own weight reduction after (as is pretty common these days)?
