How come? I currently ride with people who nearly all ride aluminium track bikes, and they seem to be ok when we do our 50mile rides. Is it to do with the condition of the roads once we get into France?
I currently have a steel frame, but showing some possible slight accident damage after a recent crash [very slight distortion in the down tube, could just be paranoia] so i want a new bike for longer riding. With steel frames being quite popular at the moment and therefore expensive, i'm leaning towards the alu frames to suit my budget.
