wonderful post on the subject.
My experience with a famous brand ti frame is that it's true, the material doesn't have that "snap" you're describing, but I only see that as an issue if I were racing crits, and it looks like I don't do that much anymore. Otherwise, I think the flex is pretty nice to have.
I remember in the 70's, lots of French bikes had round stays with all kinds of dents and crimps, and the whole purpose of going to oval was to escape that crimping. . .
there's such fiery arguments about straight vs. curved forks, it makes you wonder why we don't have similar interest in the disposition of the rest of the bike.
