Do I like my commuter bike better or just the steel?

Well, another road bike is out of my budget for a while...although that doesn't stop me from drooling over the threads about titanium Sevens, etc

I think I would have to ride more frequently to justify such an expensive purchase! Also, I would only be able to go for recreational rides on a gorgeous steel/ti bike, since I would not feel comfortable leaving it outside/anywhere

I can't wait until I have the income to get a really sweet bike

I keep thinking I should test ride some good quality NON steel bikes. All I've ridden is my old steel touring bike and my cheap aluminum Target hybrid, and it's no surprise that the Miyata is just way more comfortable and fun and easy to ride. But I don't know if I can blame the material for that. There are so many other reasons to hate the cheapo hybrid!
