I recently had a ride on my second hand 17 yo steel road frame after a break of about 12 months, and was amazed how much slower it was than my carbon race bike. It felt spongy, heavy and flexy. Coming out at junctions and roundabouts I wasn't able to get close to the same acceleration/top speed. My fixed conversion feels faster.
