Full carbon vs Full Titan
Hi guys,
I've been looking for some frames lately on e-bay and the Ti and carbon frames both have particular properties but I would like to get some personnal opinions from some specific frame users.
Are the Ti frames for "old people" who need more confort that the smootness offered by the titanium or is it because it weights less. I personnaly, have no clue about it and would like to get some info.
Thanks everyone, Max.

Maxxer, this topic has been discussed a lot here. Do a search for "titanium carbon-fiber" and you'll find many posts on this very topic.
