hi all, does anyone here own a titanium frame bike? what is your opinion on them? i know they are extremely durable but how much performance credibility do the get amongst the tri racing circles?

I would gladdly own a ti frame if it were not for the frequent number of people I know who have had cracks appear in the frame (generally near the welds), titanium is apparently quite difficult to weld and if there is an imperfection (however minute) it will escalate quite quickly.
Titanium also has the added advantage of when/if you ever stack it you go down in an unbelievable shower of sparks.....
I am not that bothered by the other benefits....
