Spec the Mavic wheels they offer then. Cosmic 40’s are hooked.

Nothing new just another badged up Chinese frame ‍♂️

my titanium litespeed MTB, vintage 1996/97, still looks new. so robustness in finish yeah definitively. the ride quality depends on the maker, you can get awesome Ti, and you can get meh Ti.

Affordable? I don’t think so.

I don’t think it is so easy for average cyclist to spend 4k on a bike.

I have a semi decent job and pay, but the rent and other living expenses, car, gas, kids, food. And I have 2k on side. And am thinking that I am a middle class working guy. And cannot afford this bike. I disagree about it being affordable…

What benefit does Ti have over carbon fiber to justify buying this bike? I like the bike and think it’s neat to have an aero Ti bike, but I’m not sure it’s a better option that the carbon bikes that already exist. Carbon can be flexible where it needs to be and stiff where it needs to be… I’m not so sure that Ti can do that.

Perhaps Ti is a bit more durable? Not having any paint seems like a good idea for gravel to eliminate paint chips.

So here we have another example which seems to be incompatible with Sram 1×13.
