Titanium is not even remotely close to the cost of gold. It's about double the price of stainless steel. There's a lot of hype surrounding titanium, and people pay a lot extra for the novelty of having something made of titanium.
Same goes for carbon fiber... it's useful, but it's also a novelty. (Carbon fiber is actually about 3x as expensive as fiberglass) : That doesn't sound right. doesn't Ti cost just about the same or more than gold?
