Whats the beef with titanium? Ti bikes are usually comparably priced, and weigh is right around the same as CF, plus i think the bare metal look is awesome, and it would be about as durable as you could ask for.
What gives? Why is nobody rocking the titanium? i know if i was in the market for a high end bike, Ti would be where i was be looking.
I like the look of Ti as well, but I think carbon fiber is a better value now, not to mention pretty much every
manufacturer makes carbon bikes so there are more choices available. Carbon fiber also has the advantage that the lay up schedule can be tweaked to achieve different design goals.
