    So everyone will know it's Ti, of course.

    Besides, paint is heavy. Remember how much the airlines saved when they quit painting the bottom of aircraft? Probably 40-50 grams off a bici frame!

    I doubt anyone ever actually looks at my bike, I'm too slow for them to bother

    and if I was worried about that, I could get decals on it to make it perfectly clear or do one of those ugly half paint jobs you see on ti bikes.
