After months of commuting on a Ribble Alu track bike I had finally finished a build based on an old steel frame (thanks @mikdoublee) and assorted frankenparts yesterday, and rode it for the first time into work. What a fucking difference steel makes, ride so soft (compared) - like sitting on a pile cushion. The geometry is also much kinder to my awkward build (short legs, long upper body and arms). In love.
