Me too. Spectrum is taking FOREVER. Those guys are just too good for their own good, the bastids. Luckily Willy is away this week so he won't notice

Ti is similar to steel but it appears to resonate at a lower amplitude/frequency or something. Steel can be very springy and zingy, but a nice ti frame feels slightly less so, so my intuition tells me that it vibrates at a lower frequency than steel, or something along those lines. I don't like to use the word 'dampen' vibrations, because that's plainly a myth as the body is the biggest dampener of vibrations, and materials have no damping characteristics in and of themselves. Each material, each frame design in my opinion has a unique amplitude/frequency in which 'hits' or 'vibration' resonate at and some of these vibrations are resonated at a more pleasing level to the human body, or at a level that the body can more easily dampen.

That's my take on it anyway, I could be completely wrong. I'm just a lowly Industrial Designer afterall.

*edit* Actually, the 'duration' of the vibrations could be seen as 'damping'....Hrmm........I really should stop talking out mah butt. *laugh* Yes, I am avoiding doing legitamite work.......actually I was planning on a road century today and avoiding it completely, but then 'overcast and 16' became 'sporadically p!ssing down with rain'.....
