Some Ti frames are flexible. Some people do not like flexible frames
and will disparage them. And that's what you heard.
My 1991 Ti Spectrum definitely is. Back then, before the fall of the
Soviet Union and the Peace Dividend, there was no bicycle Ti tubing;
there was Ti for aircraft hydraulic systems and Ti tubing for liquid
Sodium for the cooling of nuclear reactors, and it came in limited
tubing diameters and thicknesses. Like it or no, back then builders
didn't have the option of choosing to fine-tune stiffness, the way they
do now (to see this in action, check out Seven Cycles' order form).
Today, you can get a Ti frame to be as stiff or as flexible as you like.

I heard that Ti is "whippy", whatever that means?
Maybe that it planes?
Mine certainly does.
