I used to have steel Bianchi Veloce and now have Ti Motobecane which is 5 years old. Both ride really comfortable, but Moto is noticeably lighter and easier to push uphill. Bianchi is painted and accumulated some scratches and scuffs over the years. Moto is naked Ti and looks like new. I met a couple of cyclist with Ti frames older than 20 years which still looked like new, while components and wheels were regularly upgraded.
