I'm no expert but its the same grade Ti (grade 5) that is used in airframe construction and is lighter but stiffer than 3-2.5. Although not too stiff, I rode it rigid initially and it felt similar to steel.

Re: MERLIN XLM
yes still built up, I wont take it apart till I sell it or the other frame arrives. I'm commuting on it. I think its slightly stiffer than steel but with the salsa fork on it, it was fine over the downs. I'm running a SID team with 100mm of travel now so cant recall too well. looked way cooler with the black steel fork on it of course.
