If I was too choose between carbon and titanium I would go for carbon, I have ridden two titanium frames, one of which we wrote a <a href="http://www.bikecyclingreviews.com/Litespeed_A_Titanium_Dream.html" rel="nofollow">review here</a>. In comparison I would say that the titanium didn’t feel as comfortable as carbon. The handling also felt a little sloppy, this softness would be great for longer rides and on rough roads it was a little harsh. For most rides I would definitely go for carbon. <strong>Hope this helps, but I’m sure some readers will have a different view? </strong> Hi John.

Yes we do loose lung capacity as we get older; our VO2 max drops with age. You will also notice that you don’t have the same power that you used too and climbs seem to be harder than they used to be. You may have noticed that you can ride all day on the flat with out it taking too much out of you, but you won’t win any sprints as your explosiveness will have diminished. Basically as you get older you change from a petrol engine with a turbo to a diesel engine that will run for ever at a good pace but without the acceleration that you used to have. I would suggest that you get a regular medical check, every year if possible, including a blood test, blood pressure and a heart test at rest and one on a test bike, a ramp test. These will show that there is nothing medically wrong and you are just suffering from what we all do; <strong>age!</strong> Enjoy your cycling, Elliot. Hi Elliot.

Do we loose lung capacity as we age? I’m 60 years old and find that my breathing has started to suffer especially on climbs I get winded much faster than I used to. Do we loose lung capacity as we age?
