I currently have a Ti Merlin Extralight, and Cf bikes from Willier, Cervelo, and Calfee.
The Merlin, now 25 years old and still looking new has been a great bike. I put S&S couplers on it, and it makes a great travel bike because you don’t need to worry about scratching paint or abrasion damage.
Otherwise, the Cf bikes are just better for rigidity, where you want it, comfort, and weight.
I think Ti still has a place for a bike that can take
some abuse and last a very long time. Performance
wise, a good CF frame is just better.
