>>1209717It's pretty much indestructible when built right (ie not chinkshit welded), has that nice road dampening feel that steel has while being lighter than it and no risk of rusting away like steel (though the risk of that happening to modern steel is low anyway so long as you don't let the paint chip away/leave it outside in the rain). Ti is often gotten by many MAMILs as a 'last'/'final' bike (we know that there's never an exception to n+1 in reality though)
It's just steel-but-better basically
Carbon won't work as a forever bike because of assplode meme. Alloy won't work either because of Al stress aging & harsh road feel meme.
Well, steel like mine pic related can work as a forever bike as long as you take care if it as said above if you're poorfag that can't make the jump to Ti like me
