So what I've always wondered is, if you have a Ti bike with a carbon fork and especially with a carbon seatstay, does it feel more like a carbon bike than a Ti bike?

I'd imagine you still get a different feel from the rest of the Ti frame and the bottom bracket, but the main points of "feel" for the road surface is the fork and the seatstay, no?

Which leads to a brief question for all the Ti afficionados as I ponder a Ti frame purchase in the near future: given the choice of a Ti frame with a carbon seatstay or not which would you recommend? In other words, will I lose the particular Ti feel with those carbon parts?
