Looking at purchasing a Ti bike, probably either a Litespeed or Merlin. I'm 200 lbs and wondered if someone can give me their opinion on BB stiffness of Litespeed Tuscany/Ultimate/Vortex versus Merlin EL/Road. My thought would be that the Litespeed Ultimate with its oversized down tube would be the stiffest but....
Although I'd love to test ride each, can't find a dealer in my area that has stock of 61cm. frames. Thans in advance for your comments and Happy New Year!!!!
