i just moved from a cannondale evo hm to a titanium. best move ever. i thought carbon looked good, not next to a nice ti frame. its like riding with 15 psi less in your tyres.

A complient bike with tyres at lower pressures has a lower rolling resistance. It will be faster over coarse chip road surfaces then a stiffer frame with over inflated tyres.

Man that's a little bike. What size it? How tall are you and what's your saddle height?

I was thinking similarly, especially observing the long stem and seat post setback.

only 34000km since 2006

That comes out at 4250km a year

I hope that you increase that once you drop 10k on a bike

you'd think it would be cheaper for smaller frames..i.e less material to make
