Re: who rides Ti ?
I do. Have got a Genesis Croix De Fer Ti.
Also had a Van Nicholas Road bike up until a little while ago
Why - because there is nothing as good looking IMO
And it's light and rides well but these are secondary considerations to the aesthetic

I have found that it will send you down some lovely trails you wouldn't otherwise find
But it also imagines trails that simply aren't there and aren't even passable

possibly, but they are more suitable for strapping things to the top i think
they don't have much that would support things down the sides

I think a lot of it depends on where you live, if you have good mountain biking near you, then the best job for mountain biking, is a mountain bike, 20 years of suspension and brake evolution was there for a purpose.... But, i find a lot of modern mountain bikes a bit sterile because of it, all the...
