Any more ops, bring em on.
I do fine on my titanium bike on chip seal as well - which I think could be partly several reasons - my chip seal is like 2 years old now, my core is a lot stronger than it used to be, it does have carbon handlebars, and I think titanium is just not jarring. Chipseal on an aluminum bike is just unpleasant buzzing and jarring, the ti gives a buzz, but it's not unpleasant and doesn't jar. The ti bike has a quick lively feel, my all carbon bike doesn't have the same liveliness even though it does feel more powerful accelerating - and I haven't figured out whether that's just because I'm not getting as much feedback from the road on the carbon or what. Either way, I like both bikes
