When I fly over railroad tracks the only thing you hear is my chain from the rear derailleur being bounced to maintain tension. My buddies who ride high end Specialized, Treks, and Giants all sound like their bikes are going to come apart.
I hop on my Ti bike after long days on the carbon bike and I need something more comfortable. So much more smooth, my butt, back, and teeth enjoy the break lol!
