  • I think the other reason is that an £800 steel frame is usually a better buy than an £800 carbon fibre frame?

    Better buy? This is rather ambiguous

    well an £800 carbon frame will be a decent frame, in the main. so will an £800 steel one.

    you can get more, and less expensive versions of both.

    frame material always used to be a horses-for-courses choice, I don't see why that shouldn't still be the case.

    each has different properties, which influence your choice, there is no "better" just what's better for the application you want to use it for.
