Maybe you want a super stiff race bike maybe you want a comfortable bike for getting lost on dirt roads maybe you want a commuter with all the bells and whistles or an all day mountain bike or something totally different.
That being said there is no discernible flex in either and the low pressure tires on the titanium frameset probably mimic the flex in 20 year old butted steel.

Sure a titanium bike is heavier than carbon but to me it feels like so much more of a bicycle.
Every bike we make is custom.
The 3 2 5 titanium tubes have exceptional corrosion resistance.
I think that was the point that i decided that maybe this wasn t the best choice for the all weather daily commuter and gravel race bike.
Sage pdxcx a cyclocross bike that is made for the elements and can withstand the rigors of multiple seasons.
