If one was to look for a second hand track frame for doing 30ish mile rides with hills on, and also battering around town on, what's the best bet for around £200 (f&f)? Steel or ally? I was really surprised at how stiff and responsive the cheap ally CX frame I bought was - especially the difference it made when getting out of the saddle on climbs. It doesn't particularly bother me if it looks shit, or if the track geo isn't that comfortable for longer rides.
Am I likely to be surprised or disappointed if I buy steel in terms of performance?
