Titanium - why?

omri · 2014-04-09 10:00:29

I have to admit I never really gave a lot of thought to titanium frames. Just recently came across the Baum bicycle in another thread. So I guess I have to ask whats all the fuss about? I came to cycling without the "classic" background - so Im not big fan of steel road frames etc.. Its carbon ftw all the way but them…

What about magnesium framed bikes?

There have been, pretty hefty iirc. There was also a bit of noise about 'Aer Met' 25 years ago, supposed to be the future then. Bombed, appropriately enough.

On Ti, who could resist the silky fish scales of a Moots, lbis or Litespeed? For me Ti is king. Though I do love high end steel. So I'm fairly Luddite.

Tell you what, the Jaeger bike that Allegaert rides is about the sexiest looking steel frame I've seen.
