I ride full carbon, however, I'm saving for a ti bike too... not because I think it will be better. It will be different. The first titanium bikes I rode were not stiff enough for me. Anytime I stood to climb or sprint the chain would just rub up front with a grinding noise that drove me nuts. However, lately the titanium builders have done a much better job with getting the right tubes in the right place to get rid of the sloppy flex. I figure it will take just shy of two years of cutting back on lunches out and the savings I'm hoping to garner from only drinking water (no more of the carbonation in any drinks for me) before I can have both carbon and ti. So maybe the post shouldn't be titanium vs. carbon. Maybe it should be titanium and carbon. Of course, you'll still have to determine which to get first.
