So, why is there so much hype about even cheap old frames, out of interest? Would a modern alu or carbon frame be your choice over a more top of the line old steel frame, for example?
Also, what would you guestimate your langster framed bike weighs in at? I'm a bit fixated on getting one of the lightest I can for the money, but maybe that would sacrifice good components, which wouldn't be good! Guess it's finding the balance? I guess I just want to feel the biggest difference between years of fat tyred chunky mountain bikes, and something new to zip around on, but maybe i'm putting too much importance on this?
Learning so much!
Thanks.
Matt.
