Even if it's Titanium it's alloy - I've not yet seen handlebars made of pure Titanium.

Yep, in the New Year I'm continuing my pedantic mission to point out people saying alloy when they mean aluminium....

I've not yet seen a bike part made of aluminium. They're always made of an alloy.

Yep, that's kind of my gist - all metals used in bike components are alloys.

Hurrah !
