I thought you could say the same about steel as well: Durability, strength, low maintenance, sweet ride, value, feel, confidence, construction, aesthetics.

You can say the following about C: Durability, strength, sweet ride, feel, confidence, construction, aesthetics

And AL: Why titanium? Durability, strength, low maintenance, value, feel, confidence, construction




Value is cost over time. Unlike steel, ti will not rust..and before you go there, I rode steel bikes for years...and unlike Al, ti has a much better feel (ride)...and before you go there I have an Al bike too.
