Why is it any weirder than alu or carbon ones? I just love Ti bikes generally.

What are the properties of titanium that make it different to aluminium and carbon?

General niceness.
Also, can dent where carbon will crack.
Can be welded where (heat-treated) alu can't. Have gone through a period of breaking lots of carbon and now looking for inspiration in other directions.
Will admit 'Springy' feel not really required on a full-suss
Highest strength-weight ratio of any metal (I read somewhere)
I just like Ti!
