I ride exclusively steel 'cos they go on forever. The old 1950's ones I so like have been handmade by craftman all those years ago, and having survived over half a century don't generally drop in two bits. Whilst the carbon is undoubtly lighter, I reckon its kinda souless, factory built and fragile.
