I heard that before, is it so bad? When the tubes are that oversized, isn't it stiffer (while of course being lighter) than a steel frame from the late 80s / early 90s, and therefore still interesting / valid? I appreciate that carbon or alloy may appear more appropriate by todays standards, but I've seen really good riders who are still on steel bikes in Herne Hill, surely they know what they are doing... Not saying Ti is relevant for olympics or really high level competition, but generally OK?

Genuine question, not trying to start a war...
