Bikes: Devinci Guzzler, 04 Canadian version

after breaking 2 aluminum frames from powering up hills and countless chains, cranks and pedals I looked into Titanium but was told by a trusted source that I would break it at the bottom bracket area. I guess at the welds, I didnt ask
nothing sucks more than having a frame break, getting hurt in the cajonas from the sudden slip and then having to hike a broken bike out of the woods.
thats why I went with my Devinci Guzzler. its got lots of gussets in the right places on the frame and came with tougher components. I also havent destroyed the carbon pedals yet either, though I have broken my chain twice , destroyed the mid gear on the crank and broken a bottom bracket bearing
