@sohi
people focus too much on the performance in terms of speed but forget the difference
in comfort. My lugged steel bike is flexy AND uncomfortable at the same time compared
to my carbon bike.
Certain bumps and vibrations from the road don't get to the saddle at all and the frame
is still stiff when standing up and pedaling hard.
