May I ask that we please stay on topic and not side track the conversation with questions that have no relevance to what I am asking? Thanks! Also, friendly reminder that you may keep any unhelpful elitist sentiments to yourself. If you have nothing to add, please stay quiet. Thanks again.

In case it's unclear: when I say "general comments" I am referring to general comments on this very topic of this specific frame design. I am not interested in your opinion of whether Titanium frames are good/bad or to digress into providing an introduction to street trials. I hope that clarifies my questions some more.
