There was someone racing in the London League on a Fugio. Not sure who / and if they are on here. @andyp might know.
I race on a steel bike - 853. It adds another 300g over an equivalent alu frame. It would be wishful thinking of mine to believe that the 300g makes any real difference to my placing. Especially in muddy courses where you are picking up mud in the order of kilograms.
In fact, if you wanted to turn it into a head choice, find out which has the larger clearance for gloop and go for that.
