The scandium bike is actually a lot lighter and stiffer than the titanium. I use the Colnago as my brevet and rain bike (it's outfitted with a Schmidt hub and E6s). They're both great bikes (both anniversary presents. I don't have a lot of jewelery.
)
I am, as SK describes, a Euro-bike **** (she uses a more derogatory word). DH and I both like the geometry (straight top tube) of the classic European race frames. My bike is about 4 years old now, the Colnago is 6 - 7.
It certainly wasn't a downgrade!
I won't be getting a new road bike for quite some time, but I probably would go back to ti just because of the durability factor, given my clumsiness and our wet weather.Sarah

I don't have much jewelry either; or a new car, or a nice house... I have a great bike. It's all about priorities. Glad to know you didn't get rid of the Colnago.

Oh I wouldn't get ride of fast Freddy! (That's the Colnago's name because of the Fred Rodriguez paint job.)
I think my next bike will be a S&S coupled Lynskey ti to take to PBP in 2011... (A girl can dream.

Oooohhh I love Lynskey bikes. I wish I could win lotto before I go home so I could take one of these back with me.

When your dream becomes reality I want to see the pics.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
