Bike Check: Ayden Siebenaler's Custom Titanium Slopestyle Bike Costs $6K... For the Frame
A lot of talk in this article about the benefits of Titanium over Steel, and a lot of marketing BS. There is a rather large aluminium elephant in the room, too. Honestly, as a 'We did it because we could' project, this is cool. But leave it at that. Don't try to make reasonable justifications for this frame to exisit, because there aren't any.

Slack Randoms: 1930s Gearbox Bike Restoration, Tom Pidcock's Bike Fit, 50 Years of Trek & More
@betsie: You cannot apply engineering functions to a human body - because human bodies do not follow a set of material 'ideals'. Right for one muscle structure on subject 'A' could very well be wrong for subject 'B' and their muscle structure. Any bike fitter who fits a body to a bike, rather than a bike to a body - is worthless because they are assuming that these 'ideals' are the same for everyone. They are not. A good bike fitter works with the clients feedback to find their ideal. In a way fitting a bike is the same as fitting a piece of clothing. Are you suggesting that anything other than a size medium is wrong, because engineering dictated that a medium is the correct size for the human body? Nonsense.

2023 Pinkbike Awards: Suspension Product of the Year Nominees
@mammal: In the same article he states that he loved the Ohlins RXF34 in 2016 and a Fox TALAS fork (albeit tuned). Kinda doubting his opinions on suspension a little.
