That's what my carbon loving guy friend said too about Ti. He said on a hard climb he could feel the bike 'flex' underneath him and he didn't like it. One of the shop guys said about carbon is that "you are one with the bike".

Makes sense. I think it's a trade off of what you prefer in the end. For me, I know some things I certainly do not like. But, on some other things I'm undecided as of yet.
