"Both types of ti BB feel more flexy, do they not?

Hmmm... maybe that helps account for it. One of the benefits of ha ving a fleet of bikes is to compare and contrast the "ride" as much as the bikes.
My new 1980 TI Raleigh Team Pro just feels a lot "different" from my others. The geometry feels more upright (more like my Cinelli) than the '75 Team Pro yet the ride is less "hard" if that makes sense. Is this due to 1) 753 tubing, 2) titanium bb spindle or 3) my first splurge with "proper" tubulars: Clement Criteriums? Or, as likely, all three?? Whatever it is, it's different and nice.
