Nope, sorry...
I still need to be convinced why I should not buy a new alu bike. I am still afraid of seeing riders getting painfull injuries because of carbon which breaks and I am not sure about what I read about the frames making so much noice. It looks fantastic don't get me wrong and I like to be convinced it is the way forward. But I thought alu is much stiffer and with that reacts quicker. I have only my own bike to compare with a very cheap carbon bike from 11 years ago which was uncontrolable. So punish me if you'll like. I am not a racer just someone who can appreciate beautiful bikes and willing to leave a lot of stuff to be able to have a dream come true. 71 bikes from ASDA won't do. I rather go back to spending it on women and wine but if I can ride away from all that on a fantastic carbon bike than please help me out.
