>>1198108>You can't really break a Ti frameTell that to the people who bought the early Teledyne Titanium frames. They had a design flaw, the frame would fail where the Ti tubes were constricted so a standard Campy/Shimano downtube shifter and front derailleur could be used. I also saw tubes fail right at the bottom bracket. There are still some Teledyne frames in use.
