I'm a bit knocked sideways. So much is different. Will try and figure out how to describe my initial impressions, after tomorrow's ride.

Good stuff.
Try to remember: your tyres probably aren't flat. It's the frame that's soaking up the road buzz.

I've been asked a few times since I got mine, I've been using your description and it seems apt 'Smooth'

The ti sickness. If you catch it, you might find yourself deciding that various things on your bike have no business not being ti.
My precious
Hopefully you'll have more luck with SKS Bluemels mudguards than I did. (It's probably just me. They seem to get good reviews.)
Expensive.

I've had three sets burst on me but with a Scandium frame now I've got Ti will it still be the case and should I consider another alternative?

I have a Ford Focus Titanium...I guess that doesn't warrant a pic?

I don't know if it's so much the case of Ti being kryptonite as it is the tensions introduced by the setup on my Enigma. Rather than hang ugly but durable 'guards on it as I've done on other bikes, I'm currently experimenting with going bare tyred.
Only if it's got a bike rack...?

The Bluemels have been impressive straight away. Two rainy rides and not a speck of road muck anywhere on the bike. Seriously, just a few drops of plain water from actual rain falling from up above.

For anyone who's interested, I've written on my blog about my Enigma experience, ending with a bit about how I found the ride that first day. Two days on, I'm getting used to things, gaining a little confidence, trusting the handling more, really looking forward to many many happy miles.
