Ti is fly. Rides like a high end steel frame. Compliant without being noodly or too bendy. Wishy washy terms for it I know.
I have a Ti GT and Columbus SLX roadie. Both feel similar as far as being stable but can sponge up bumps.
My plain gauge cro-mo Timberline on the other hand will beat you up and laugh in your face in comparison.

Yes, Intense Recon. Was from a build kit I bought end of last year.
Still early days for me on Ti frame. Took it out on maiden ride yesterday on my local trail. I agree with other forumnites.
Even though no rear suspension, the bike feels like it has a firm rear suspension (not quite to lock out rear shock). I suppose 2.8 tyre account for most of it.
I have had NS cr-mo eccentric earlier in the piece and can remember being bounced around on that. Not quite Ti bike.
So far loving it and can tell the full sus (Whyte T130 S Work) wont be seeing much trails for now.
edit - second ride this arvo. Loving this bike. The plus size tyres really lend very well to HT.

I'm very jealous of this bike. I was seriously looking at one of these frames also, but can't stomach the price at this stage.
Let us know how it goes!

classic case of going somewhere, forgot a drink bottle -called into a sml town market & thats all they had..besides it matches the cranks & no-one will steal it

The matching cranks and bottle is a stroke of genius. Tough neighbourhood though if you have water bottle thieves lurking around.

I think the WTF was more along the lines of what's going on with the strap between the top tube and the bottle cage....?

It is the anti-theft device (tm). Not always practical to chain a pitbull to the handlebars.

I've seen how that ends with a mean mother of a German Sheppard we had as a kid, boy comes off the bike after dog decides to chase another dog, dog then comes home with bike and no kid.
