Ti frames aren’t great;
Poor ride feel because clone not redesign, you cannot change the material and expect the same ride quality; think soggy noodle.
Hinge pins are trash, I wouldn’t ride it.
Finishing is not amazing.

Jtek ti is the lightest option that’s functional.
Chinese cheap light parts look good, but brands like Ace are cheap crap. The easy wheels for example, they are just low cost knock offs and a waste of cash.
If the bike is not functional, what’s the point?
I can build you a 4kg bike, but it will ride like crap and probably not last a few months... I can build you an 8/9kg bike and it will
Be light enough and ride well, last and be suitable as a commuter.
