Houseblend R440 6Al-4V

For:  The serious competitor -- BB30 option available for an additional $500.

Your tubing set:  6Al-4V/3Al-2.5V oversize titanium/double-triple butting/Force Vector specific shaping (diamond shaped).  6Al-4V is used for the top and down tubes; the rest is 3Al-2.5V, including an oversize head tube.  Helix competition-tuned rear triangle.  An R440 customer is willing to sacrifice some ride quality -- the 6/4 titanium alloy uses twice as much aluminum as 3/2.5, so it feels more like an aluminum frame.

Your tubing set:  Double and triple-butted 3Al-2.5V titanium alloy (ovalized top and down tubes for enhanced stiffness).  R340 has Helix seatstays.
