Titanium has very similar characteristics as chrome/magnesium/moly steel formula's, it has an elasticity and feel that is unique. Carbon Fibre is pretty good and offers a lot of further development.
If you are putting a Ti bike into a trainer locking your fork tips. I would recommend you consider alternatives. Ti has some wonder ful characteristics with its longevity, strength and flexibility....but I personally wouldn't put one into a trainer set up. Get an olg 10 speed bike of similar proportions and set it up as previously discussed  |

Another point to remember with Titanium......salt is one mineral that Titanium doesn't like, I have seen some ti frames cable fittings that have been on a trainer discoloured and damaged. Sweat does not only contain salt but other concentrated minerals that are invasive... it is even worse on aluminium and steel.
