Folks like to talk about frame material like it's the only thing that matters, but the design is more important. Competent engineering utilises a material's strengths to deliver the desired properties in a structure.

It should go without saying that a comprehensively optimised carbon frame will perform better in every aspect, except durability, than a comprehensively optimised ti frame, and cost less.

Of course, YMMV when it comes to aesthetics, but there's no denying a mad ano job looks sweet AF, not to mention being an intrinsically awesome means of decoration.
