Titanium still has more benefits for larger riders, holds up under touring better as well. There are other things to consider besides performance in a competitive environment. Even steel tubing is improved on still. If one truly traced carbon bikes, they have existed for some time though not as advanced as now. For all we know, the Bikeadelic blogger may be wanting a sturdy bike and in that, I do believe Titanium might still be better.TSVDPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08799437719101782398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-172202953319134786.post-14904597272168687632012-02-26T00:02:11.149-08:002012-02-26T00:02:11.149-08:00TSVDP - the Allman Bros. were great!

The "art" thing was the basis of our comment, there's simply NOT a lot of it on display in a bare-metal, welded frameset when compared to the steel DeRosa bikes. And titanium was "state of the art" a long time ago if you go by the pro peloton - it's (sadly) carbon-fiber these days. We sometimes wonder what the next "wonder" material will be in the bike industry - as labor costs increase might they come up with some sort of extrusion process to "squirt" out the parts of a bike frame?Larry and Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16346445393389942837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-172202953319134786.post-77799249205518560952012-02-25T14:39:44.779-08:002012-02-25T14:39:44.779-08:00Can you read Doriano's t-shirt?

I've only heard a few songs but good, a plug for American Classic Rock there.<br /><br />I have a Cycle Sport from a few years and there is a list of all dealers of De Rosa bikes in the US.<br /><br />Titanium is state of the art, one can see most all of these bikes, Battaglin, Moser, DeRosa at such sites like Velo Space and a newer one called Pedal Room where people put up pictures of their own bicycles.TSVDPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08799437719101782398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-172202953319134786.post-79344375999915072302012-02-25T08:12:25.591-08:002012-02-25T08:12:25.591-08:00Nice enough, but not much character shows on those...Nice enough, but not much character shows on those ti bikes.
