I have a Litespeed bike, it's Ti and will be hard pressed to get me to give it up. I have Al, Carbon, Ti and Steel bikes. They all ride difference, but Ti does have a nice spring to it the others are missing. Steel is close, but more mellow. That Litespeed is going on 15+ yrs, frame looks new. I retired it from Triathlon racing and converted it to a Fixie, makes a great conversion.
