i've never actually owned one of these frames but a guy a rampworx had one and i had a go on it,i like the idea of a ti frame but i'll never own one so i'll just needlessly slag them all off

LOL at the titanium knowlage on this thread. you all know naff all about titanium, leave it at that. No really, leave it at that. Argueing about non facts.
