Old fashioned steel/ali's more forgiving and forewarning....better a creak than a crack.
But an alloy space frame structure with carbon cladding wud be nice 8)

Ti is actually a far better frame material (from a failure standpoint) than heat treated Al. Ti's properties (especially when it comes to fatigue) are similar to steel but with a higher tensile strength and lower density.
