headtube gusset on Ti frame seems to encourage rather than resist any sort of stress failure.

There's more Cheap Carbon frames floating about these days...

Think I'd prefer Cheap Carbon to Cheap Ti TBH...

I'd rather a replaceable hanger too on the Ti frame. Could easily trash the whole frame with just a minor RD mess up.

edit: at least with a well known/UK supplier you should be able to get the frame fixed. Don't know I would trust a cheap ebay supplier to be able to provide such backup.
