Why did Titanium not take off amongst Pros?
this thought just popped into my head recently.
It seems like Titanium frames are the hot ticket these days. even riders who are mainly riding modern carbon bikes drool over titanium it seems. and they sell for a significant premium over similar quality steel frames.
so then why did titanium never (as far as I know) become popular among pro riders (during the pre-carbon years).?
was there ever a pro team riding titanium frames?
