I've been thinking about a bike for some gravel and bikepacking (few days at most) to complement a dedicated road bike, and was initially considering aluminum but with this price I'm now tempted by a titanium option from Litespeed. The weight and comfort seem quite appealing…
Would this Litespeed Flint be a decent option? Any options you'd change? The brand seems to be well regarded.

Litespeed quality has dropped over the last decade. Particularly the welds. Titanium is generally an expensive material. It’s labor intensive. For just a little more, you’re better off going with the Trek Checkpoint SL 6 AXS. Don’t get me wrong, titanium is great. I just wouldn’t get a Litespeed.
