You appear to be making up a reference point with a different headtube because you've been fixated on head tube diameter lately, but your question could have been just as easily formulated as "isn't an 'extra light' titanium frame an oxymoron since carbon frames can be made so much lighter?" Yeah, it's clearly not the lightest possible frame they could have made, but they're making no explicit claims to that effect. It's just a brand name they threw on a frame because they thought it might help it sell better than if they named it the Merlin Crapmachine. |

Vintage Woodrup Giro-Touring bike with some Campagnolo Record components - $600 and a TA Crankset Text 3 0 3 - 5 2 3 - 9 1 9 6. Built in Leeds England. This great road bike actually has 3 chain rings, and the super low gear(see pic #7) is low enough for any hills you'll encounter ! Beautifully lugged frame. Brand NEW tires have never been ridden on yet, just installed before I listed the bike. Campagnolo hubs, also has Campagnolo brakes, handles, rear derailleur, shift levers, seat post, pedals, etc, etc. Real Brooks saddle that IS broken in so you won't have to!! Really unique vintage bike ! Condition is excellent with NO rust or excessive wear of any kind. Has just small scrapes in the paint.

https://forums.thepaceline.net/showp...0&postcount=25 Builder estimated it's roughly 100-120g difference in Ti all things considered / being equal, but that was in 2014. Whether the 100-120g difference is worth a noticeable stiffer front end is up to the rider. |
Speaking of go-fast Davidsons…how about this Softride for $400…

The Davidson is quite eye catching, and I am glad it is too big for me. Saves me the anguish of I want and how can I. |
