Hi Befuto

What you have described is very common. This happens to not just Ti frames but Al and less often CrMo frames. Majority of the cases that I have run across over the last 15 years is due to flex and/or wear of the BB and/or BB Shell. You could try regreasing and tightening your BB locknuts -- a few drops of locktite may help. My Newsboy developed a "click" after close to 2 years of use. The same with my M2, Colnago and Vitus. I have attributed this to wear and left it alone.

Dominic
