Default An advantage of titanium over aluminium.

Here's a situation where a Titanium frame has a definite advantage over
Aluminium.

Let's see. I have an Ally bike, I sometimes go down steep hills,
stability tends to be reduced, probably something to do with the frame.

Eureka!

High speeds are melting my frame and inducing speed wobbles. I don't
notice after I slow down as the Al freezes back to normal.

No wonder Robbie McEwen rides a Ti bike!

That's way better than my bike. Probably a better paintjob at this stage
too.. I wonder if that groupset is salvageable with a clean 'n' lube?
