I have been hoping for a long time a magazine would do a road test comparing several roughly $2K Ti bikes. You can add Airborne and Douglas to the ones mentioned earlier. You could take a couple of Litespeeds (Firenze versus a Veneto would be interesting), a couple of Airbornes(Valkyrie and Zeppelin), Douglas, Zion, Habanero and any others that come to mind. Be curious to see what, if anything, the extra dough buys you.Heck, I'd like to do the road test myself
