Yeah Patrick , I've never ridden or owned a CF frame so any information is "second hand" ... lol. The "feel" of a CF may have a lot to do with the geometry used also .... and you don't really know where a person is coming from in saying it feels "dead". You really can't compare steel and CF directly spec for spec because the simply are made differently today . Maybe if they still made lugged CF like when they originated in the 80's you could compare them ... and I bet they rode quite similar .
I guess my main concern though, like yours would be longevity and durability in the long run. And yes ... Titanium would be an interesting option too ! I'm not weight weenie either .... but yeah .... if the exact same frame would weigh 5 lbs. less ? Heck yes I'd consider it ! I ride hills every day too. While yes ... it is all about the experience and less weight may not matter in some ways ... it does matter in others. It depends on how you want your experience to be . . . and we each inherently get to choose that experience . What anyone else thinks .... *So What* ! Who ya' riding for ? lol :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
