I get the impression that even established manufacturers like Litespeed are also subject to 'marketing pressure'. I might be wrong, but personally I do not see the point of 'interrupting' a beautiful Titanium frame, glueing in a piece of carbon, probably making things more vulnerable and not (noticeably) better. To each his/her own, but personally I am glad that my 'rear' is Ti.
