953 or Ti?

If you get 953, you'll only get the main triangle as 953. No-one is yet making things like forks and chain stays from 953. Yes it's lovely, yes it's lighter and stronger, but I would probably go for a 100% Ti frame if a Ti frame was available to the specs I want.

Are you sure about that? Brian Rourke makes 953 frames and the rears are stainless steel and un painted, might be some other tubing though.
