Carbon vs Titanium???

Recommended Posts

On high-end road bikes, what do you reckon is the way to go... Carbon or Titanium. To put it another way, Cervelo or Litespeed?

 

I am quite interested in this comparison. Let's say the price on the frames are the same, which is the way to go??

You are going to get a lot of "depends what you want out of the frame" answers.

In my mind Ti is the way to go, it lasts forever

Cervelo is stiffer and lighter, but the litespeed probably far more forgiving and the seat stays won't break if you accidently drop your empty GU sachet on them. My vote is for Titanium anyday.

I want to race on it, but obviously my life doesn't depend on it if i win or not (but i'd like to :)). I don't really ride further than 120km at a time, and have yet to do a multi-day tour/stage race.
