Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I guess I'll state the obvious... Ever consider contacting Litespeed? They made some Ti/carbon frames for a short period of time, didn't know they made any aluminum/carbon frames.

FWIW, one of my group's riders has some kind of stupid miles (25,000?) on her Ti/carbon frame Litespeed.
