So pretend you're me for a minute. You're 6'4" & 215#. You're fairly strong, and ride 4-5000 miles/year, primarily as training rides for triathlons/duathlons.
You're planning to buy a sweet new ti road bike. One option is Litespeed (probably the Ultimate)... they "optimize" tube sizes, shapes, use the fancy 6/4 ti, etc.
Another option is Davidson or IF. They use round tubes... just plain round tubes.
Make your case for Option 1 (Litespeed w/ "optimized" tubes) or Option 2 ("conventional" bike w/ round tubes). Any other interesting points you care to share?
Thanks!
