Sorry thylacine, the engineer in me asks - is a lb of steel .25 heavier than a lb of Ti? (GRIN) I believe you mean weight density, if so I believe you are in error. Ti is about half as light. Thus an equal volume of steel = twice as heavy as an equal volume of Ti, at least Archimedes would say so. And I bet he would have chosen a litespeed!
Good to see they finally began teaching physics and chemisty in Kentucky! Who woulda guessed!
Pity you didn't opt to take "Real World Humour for the Sciences 101" though.
Mwuhuhuhuhuha!
Here are two frames. Both are the same size, tubing selection is geared to make them both perform roughly the same. Oh look at that! The steel one is about a quarter of a pound heavier!
And no, Archemedes would not have chosen a Litespeed....but he probably would if he was a member of this BBS.
