Ti sucks?
It's one of the stiffest frames I've ridden. Very similar to my cf racing frame.
And of course, the drivetrain is one of the finest money can buy (sans Record).
And of course, a good set of integrated carbon bars is best for topping off any good quality Ti frame.
I have a few bikes lying around, and my new Ti machine is one of my favorites. Heck, all three of my road machines are my favorites, but for differant reasons. I even love cruising to work on my 27# steel commuter.
It's not my fault you guys are all biased.
