I Love my Brodie Holeshot Ti (Brought as a frame off here)geometry is great but the lack of weight and and the way it rides is sublime.

Also Have a Kinesis Decade Tripster ATR first gen which is equally lovely and I really need to get out on it again.

Tripster ATR mk 1 here .. it's my road, touring, cross bike so went a bit special. It's lovely .. makes me smile every time I ride it. Could probably do better with 2 focussed bikes, but less garage soace taken up and its Ti.

Had a Tinbred, at the other end of the spectrum - equally very nice bike, if I hadn't got 29er curious and offered a Whyte 29CS at a bargain price I'd likely still have it. Tough light and shrugged off the abuse.

They’re useless on singletrack though...

I've three Ti bikes...
Rigid SS - rides like it's got 50mm of travel at either end! In a good way..
Kinesis tripster - we all know about that (though I did crack the Mk1 frame)
Kingdom vendetta - ore-sum...

They are pricey, but to be fair, my vendetta frame cost £900, and my steel 4130 before that was about £600..so....

They are nice.

But, i'd agree... i know of several that have cracked..

I have at Ti Hardtail.

Advantages:
Its a bit lighter
Rides very similar to steel

Advantages:
Price

If I was buying again today I would get the steel version and spend the extra cash on the components.

Drp, did you get a vendetta or a vendetta X2?

I'm weighing up the merits of a custom(ISH) build with sliding dropouts and the machined headtube

Mine’s s bit love & hate colour wise but it’s certainly a monster of a 29er
