the Ti "shell" they are talking about.....wouldnt that be too stiff? Seems like the carbon fiber or plain old plastic shells would be a better choice - unless they have some serious padding. ????

carbon fibre and stronger than plastic. Just think of Ti rails on saddles. Nothing touches Ti rails for comfort, so I would imagine that the Ti shell is also comfortable.
