  • nice, i'm not a weight wennie either, im just interested how titanium compares to steel.
    Currently my 57cm track steel frame and forks weighs in at 8.23Kg's, so i reckon not bad for steel.
    So with titanium you save roughly 10% -15% in weight going with Crane (huge frame) 8Kg and BMMF (medium frame) 6Kg .

    In Condor, there's a titanium frame and a steel frame hanging up in the basement.

    the ti frame is those triple butted one that cost a fortune (1.4kg), the steel is the SAT 14.5 triple butted one (1.6kg).

    having held them both, the difference is not very signifcant, only when you have the steel fork for the steel frame (700g) is when you notice it.

    What I love about the ti is the loud 'PING" it make when you flick it with your finger, the steel is slighty softer.
