I ride with several cyclist who own bikes that cost more than $5000 each, and they have 2 or more bikes of this value.
These gentlemen participate in some local race events. Saving seconds is big business. Personally, I enjoy taking out my 1983 De Rosa Professional and setting the pace.
Ti is the ultimate Gravel Bike frame material, just ask yourself how often the bike will be used prior to investing.
