Serotta Ottrott / Legend / Fierte Ti : ride like ????

For those who know, what other existing brand/model of Ti or Ti+carbon frames have ride characteristics like/better than the listed frames? Yes, they're in the running, but I'd like more choices. I'm familiar with my CSI steel and Concours Ti, if that helps with comparisons.

Info: I don't race, do about 4,000+ miles a year recreational riding, weigh 190, and like a bit more upright position than your run of the mill slammed stem contraption. NOT interested in full carbon creatures or having a custom frame built.

Cry havoc, and let loose the opinions of yor!

I see you’re NOT interested in a full carbon frame but I picked up a NOS HSG with Performance geometry (more upright) that relegated my Ottrott to #2 status.

The Serotta Duetti A9 rides like a Serotta IMHO. Yes it is aluminum, but it rides closer to my old Concours, CSI, Ottrott than one would think! They are disc brake and can fit a 32mm tire comfortably as well! Ben still designs a phenomenal riding bicycle!

Seven, Kelly Bedford and others still do mixed material frames of ti/carbon as do others, but are big $$$ new and can be hard to find on the used market.
