I have three titanium bikes and love them all dearly. My Ti road bike is the envy of the shop and generally people are always trying to "finesse" it as the kids say. They want to race for it or just take it, never works though. I don't race and I certainly wouldn't do it for pinks, it is my pride and joy but I damn sure couldn't beat these young kids with my slow ass.

No carbon in the collection aside from some forks but plenty of steel (and one aluminum) and honestly I love both but if I could swap a couple bikes over to ti I might consider mainly for my commuter beater bike just because I kind of want no paint to get damaged and for my aluminum bike so it is more comfortable and it would be cool to have a titanium fixed gear road bike.

I find if it cannot rhyme it ain't worth your time. Steel is real, Ti is fly and Wood is good.
