I have two titanium bikes that I ride regularly. An early 90s LeMond V2 and a late 90s Mongoose MTB that I converted to a mullet. The LeMond rides amazingly well. Light and nimble, not rigid but not noodley either. Snaps forward when your step on it. Definitely one of the best riding road bikes I've ever ridden and, yes I know this is going to sound snobbish but, I worked at a bike shop in the bay area and test rode thousands of high end bikes. I can only think of a few bikes that had that combo of attributes. I'm a clydesdale to boot (over 200 lbs) and have put thousands of miles on both bikes with no problems. I even took the moogoose on some decently rugged single-track courses with only one washout (see torn bar tape). I say go for it. Do all the due diligence of course, but I wouldn't shy away from vintage Ti for any reason, unlike vintage carbon which is a ticking time bomb.

Any excuse to post em'!


EDIT: I see you already did it. Congrats, it’s a beauty.
