titanium is sort of nice in theory and I was a big fan of it but the only bike things that
failed on me after short road use were titanium. I had a frame crack at a weld and
then a USE alien seatpost snapped after less than a year road use from new.
I still have a 14 year old Litespeed Mtb thats fine. So I would only buy a very cheap one
as a beater. This whole "will last a lifetime" is a myth.
