Yep, CF, Italian or otherwise, is fine stuff. Aluminum is stiff but really passes the vibration of the road through. My butt came through this year's ride in much better condition than the last time I did this century :) It's amazing how different the physiology differs between running and cycling. This year I did much more bicycle training but I was still getting passed by people who I'm sure wouldn't be within an hour of me in a marathon. I mean, in smaller marathons I'm usually in contention for an age group award, but in a bicycle century I'm strictly mid-pack at best. The fact that it was a very hilly ride must have helped me because I was passing people all the time going up hills, cruising by when they were obviously gasping for breath and working hard... but on the next flat they'd blast past me so fast I couldn't even contemplate drafting. I can't decide whether I want to train harder to do this again *properly* or never, ever do it again at all!
