• I'm thinking of a titanium fast, aggressiveish road bike with fender mounts for all year speeeed.
    Am I having some sort of crisis?

  • Pretty much, lean into it I say

  • Friend of mine is having a similar crisis at a similar age, I think it's healthy. I want him to order here see if they're good: https://www.titancycles.com/#section-pricing Stridsland_journal follows them insta, leads me to believe he's ordering his stuff there which is a good sign RE quality.

  • Not a crisis, but also not where the material shines IMO. I know it can be built into fast bikes, but the tubing diameters have to be really quite something to maintain the same level of stiffness as steel tubing, a la No. 22. I can't think of many people building fast Ti bikes that aren't fully custom. But if you're okay with fully custom, then I say go for it.
