This is a profoundly ignorant statement. NOTHING feels like Ti. Whether it's marketable in this day and age is another matter. All the big Ti bike companies from Lynnskey to Litespeed are hurting. But that has more to do with pricing and perceived value than anything else. I've been riding Ti for 20 years. Very unique. I prefer it for longer rides, and I go back and forth between CF and Ti daily.
