Now, with the production of Metal Matrix, Titanium, Carbon Fibre, Magnesium and countless other materials, which do you think is the best for cross.

Depends what you are looking for. ti is hard to beat for sheer longevity, but most people get bored with a bike and get rid of it.

I'm going for magnesium this year :twisted:

hey man, I tend to keep bikes longer than most people around here, my main road bike I've been racing for 6 years now. (oh, and I sold a titanium bike to get this one since it didn't fit me right)

The bike the mag one is replacing is a glued and screwed aluminum one.
