Actually I'm satisfied after having tested my one on track. I'm sure that aluminium and
carbon are better even if I did never test them on track. In any case, racers of the past
had excellent result on steel bikes; anyhow progress went on and new material came
out for improving racers performances and builders' wallets.
Just for info, my Pelizzoli has also oversized tubes, needed especially in consideration
of the big size.
Finally, I'm not good enough on track for having the need of alu or carbon. I would still
be slow.
