i dont ride old steel frames, so its neighter here nor there. obviosuly there is performance gains, but what i meant was that outside of competitive racing there isnt much of a perfomcne gain. on an evening blast out riding for the hell of it im not going to notice that im 10 seconds quicker per mile or whatever.
fair enough, the fragile thing i dont really know about as ive never crashed a carbon bike.
i would love a carbon bike but it seems like a bit of an uneccessary extravigance for someone of my means.
Well, you need to properly explain what you mean the first time 'round :P
I tend to agree.. which is why I've owned a shitload of bikes and only a single, stupidly expensive carbon one, which is still less than 12 months old. I don't NEED it I wanted it. Simple as that.
