spag, I haven't had a season on the track and so have nothing to compare my experience of riding steel on the road vs riding alu on the road. You maybe right. But I'd rather ride the bike I've got first then make the adjustments, and anyway, you and the other track bods are jumping from one material to the other upgrading one season after the next, its an arms race and I don't have the cash or the time to scour here or fleabay looking for a bargain...
plus I like steel. I would ride your carbon thing to see if I like it, but it'd be too small.
anyway enough derailing..
