Can you explain? (E.g., how exactly do they fail, and is the failure gradual or sudden?) I'm constantly tempted by Ti bikes but don't have any experience with one, so this comment piques my interest for sure.

For what it's worth, I thought (perhaps mistakenly) that Ti was supposed to be bulletproof, or close to.

Also curious about this (in particular, how it compares to a good steel bike).

TIA.
