never ridden a ti bike before. but generally ti is known to be in between alu and steel in terms of stiffness. but it depends on the design. it can be made plenty stiff. do some search on the internet, like "bicycle frame materials" etc. and read some of the reviews on the internet. some of the ti bike manufacturers are litespeed, lynskey, moots, van nicholas, serotta, to name a few.

i'd go with a used one if budget is limited. if money is not an issue, of course get a new one.

Sell, not sure people wants to buy, as it is unbranded, too eager to complete my riding gear then. Pay about 280RM for it. Come to think of it, I was hoodwinked by my own vanity.
Anyway, etched on the spec. say Halogyn PhotoMatic, didn't see any brand name.. Must consult with one of the sifus here if there are worthy to keep, not that it really bothers me.

If you happen to come across a rider wearing conventional spec. tats proly is me! tongue.gif

Why? Pasang V Kool ah?
