Ugh ...if I must.
Lighter than steel and far more corrosion resistant.
More corrosion resistant than Aluminum.
More durable in most applications than carbon fiber.
More bio compatible for medical implants than surgical stainless.
Far less fatigue failures than aluminum or steel making it ideal for components that face repeated stress
Strong as steel at 40% of the weight (depending on the alloy)
More erosion/cavitation resistant than steel
can flex and bend quite easily in certain applications making it less likely to crack or break.
Listen .... I never said Ti was the best material for bike frames. You seem to be of the mind that steel is the only thing that should be used for bike frames. Fine I disagree. I have had steel, Ti , Carbon and Aluminum. They all work fine for me. I also tried to stick to answering the OPs post and not crapping all over everyone else's thoughts on different frame materials. Maybe make your own thread about "steel is real" or some such drivel. Treat this thread like an A to B thread and C your way out of it.
