However, many bicycles have titanium parts. Pedal axles, various bolts, even whole frames are built and machined from titanium. They have become very popular. Such frames contain a few pounds of titanium. >> - ---------------------------------- True, I could buy a top titanium bike frame for about $1,500, and it would weigh about 2.5 pounds. Maybe if a lens was entirely titanium, it would feel too light and "cheap." Also, I think titanium against titanium is not a good match, e.g., a titanium bike frame with a titanium seat post will produce a lot of squeeking!! JM2C Arturo
