  • a nice 'turgidity' when mashing pedals

    I think this is the perfect description, in that there's a definite flex under stress, but the energy, rather than being lost, causes the frame to snap back into alignment.

    Having said that, the Ti bikes that I've borrowed and ridden lead me to believe that in order to have one that can deal with the explosive forces I like to intermittently generate (in the manner I like them dealt with), Ti would either be too expensive, or (nearly) affordable but too heavy.

    If I had a budget like that, I'm pretty sure I'd go for high-end Scandium. But that's just me.
