I wonder if his scales are accurate. My '97 aluminum frame is quoted as just under 3 pounds - it seems that a titanium could not weigh 33% more given that it doesn't look like it has super beefy welds. Are the tubes THAT much thicker?

titanium is heavier than alu.

Yes, but not 1/3rd as much heavier.

you're comparing a midget size alu frame to a XL bonty
