I think that this is the right idea. Aluminum frame with forks and rear triangles made from something other than hi-ten steel would be relatively light -- see the modified Merc by LP -- and not nearly as daunting as a $10K tab for the titanium version.

Regardless, if someone is looking for the Ultimate in portability, ride, and the ergonomics are right, then who am I to say what is worthwhile?
