Opinion poll:
Would you rather
A) Butted Ti frame - Slightly lighter, less stiff, more expensive
B) Straight gauge Ti frame - Slightly heavier, stiffer, cheaper
For a 100% tarmac road bike. On the one hand, stiffness, especially in the bottom bracket and chainstays is what I want, but a hundred or two grams is difficult to ignore and does "double butted" as a marketing term if nothing else, add value/salability?
