So I bought one today road bike Team issue 58 cm. Riding carbon last 8 years and steel before that. I am hoping to catch the steel road ride that is an upgrade. The carbon bike is fine but seems 2 carbons are same thing, so give the TI a ride.

Anyone think this could be nuts? I do but hey.....

If you think that is nuts I'm completely crazy having a CF, Ti and Alu roadbike. You will discover that Ti doesn't have magic riding qualities. It just doesn't need a paintjob and stays like new forever. Don't put parts on it that can rust. That would be strange.


Agreed.
Titanium left exposed to air covers itself in stable
titanium oxide but in contact with other metals, especially
with an electrolyte (such as road salt in water), Ti is
highly reactive. Use anti-seize molybdenum paste for
assembly of fasteners and clamps in/on Titanium.
