Any engineer types here know whether a titanium bike frame will encounter structural issues over time?
Whereas my tri bike gets swapped out every few years. My everyday road bike is a titanium litespeed and nearly 20 years old. Has over 50,000 miles on it. Been through multiple wheel sets and a few group sets but the frame appears bullet proof. Looks as good as new but would hate to have it fall apart on some downhill at 45 mph. I love the bike so don’t want to retire it unless I really should.
