Ti is so nice. When I first began testing road bikes, I immediately discovered a couple of things: there is a noticeable difference between carbon and Ti; and there is a noticeable difference in upper and lower end components. Carbon buzzed, Ti hummed. Taigra was like being on a Coney Island roller coaster; Ultegra was crisp. I bought the frame/fork/headset on ebay-- basically brand new from a shop that built it but never sold it. I rounded out the bike with a complete Campy kit from GVHBikes in Oregon. He had a great deal on a last year Chorus/Centaur kit so I went with Campy vice Shimano and I have never looked back.
