I've had my Giant Toughroad SLR2 since late 2017. She still rides nice and I'm not going to sell her but I've had a desire to get a more serious bike. I'd like to continue my trend with a bike set up for Gravel/Road.
While many people generally graduate towards a lightweight carbon frame, I feel myself going into a different direction.
While most every bike can last long if you take care of it, certain materials can have a higher probability of lasting a lifetime & even be passed down.

I wanted to make a decent sized investment into a Titanium build from Litespeed or Lynskey which were both technically started by the same guy & both build amazing bikes. The build I want would end up running me about $5k-6500.
The fact that Titanium doesn't rust or corrode while being as strong as steel but lighter & will take much more punishment than carbon has me leaning in that direction.


What are your thoughts on Titanium bikes? Do you have experience with Titanium & or modern steel bikes? And do you feel the price is worth it?
