What do you think bikes direct guy?
I think that might be interesting
BUT 853 or 953 or Ti might be even more interesting
and even more comfortable
I would do Ti, if I thought customers would pay the pay [of course, Ti frames are 10 times AL and 3 times CF, so it might be hard]
My son would love for us to do stainless steel - so lots of options out there
how much would someone think would be doable on Ti?
