I have posted this before, but the feel of Ti as according to BikeRadar:

Itโ€™s not as radical as the action of a spring unloading (because a taut frame canโ€™t really โ€˜unloadโ€™) but more like the reverb of a tuning fork, offering precisely the note you were looking for.

Lol, rofl, etc etc.

That's 'Where do I sign up, w@nker?'. You're not being aggresive enough.

ti gives more feedback allowing for far more feeling and responsive response on technical climbing and comparatively greater absorbtion on aggressive trail centre days out.

when it gets hand to hand, ti all the way.

Is that a quote from another Bike Radar review?

not at all, steel may zing but ti goes wow, especially on long drifting off the brake corners and stuttering rock encounters.

PMSL at james-o's link... Very funny!

And I wanna know that if steel zing's, and carbon wow's, what do ally and carbon frames do trailmonkey? And full suspension frames (I know, I know, stuff of the devil), what noise do they make? ๐Ÿ˜‰

"more feedback allowing for far more feeling" - Say that again...with more feeling.

"responsive response on technical climbing" - We need to see the stats for this ๐Ÿ˜‰
