A complete waste of time?

The reason I want a Ti frame is to keep it simple and robust. A
carbon
back end rather defeats the point. If I wanted that, I'd just get a
Al/Carbon frame instead.

Or get a carbon monocoque. Why have a frame made out of jointed tubes
when you can have one in all one piece, /and/ stronger and more
comfortable even than Ti?
