hehe maybe )
i think the ability to perceive and isolate differences is learnt and in part comes from experience but has little to do with riding ability, assuming you're able to ride at a competent level on technical stuff. understanding things from a design pov first helps too.
some ti bikes ride like some other peoples steel bikes, yes, but i reckon the charge bikes in that test would show quite different results on a test bench. but it's like £1500 bikes and £2500 bikes - diminishing returns. light weight plus a durable finish sells ti as much as perceived ride feel, as does the lust factor - any bike that makes you feel like riding more often is a good thing, and i'd say whatever it takes to give you that feeling is more worth spending cash on that a new car )
my ti genesis is a noticably but subtly different ride to the 853, same angles but i use them in different ways with set-ups that suit the differences.
just proud of what we achieved...
