Aluminium vs Steel vs Carbon vs Ti

i've read some threads on recomending frames and bikes, and there seems not to be too much distinction between ali and steel.
i find ali not very nice too ride, a bit harsh and hard, while good steel ( reynolds ) is bloody near perfect.
any other opinions ?

Yeah..
You're wrong.

Benjamin: Yes, I am.
Mr. McGuire: Plastics."

A stiffy is a good thing if you know how to use it.

Besides, our Histories of six thousand Moons make no mention of any other Regions, than the two great Empires of Lilliput and Blefuscu. Which two mighty Powers have, as I was going to tell you, been engaged in a most obstinate War for six and thirty Moons past. It began upon the following Occasion. It is allowed on all Hands, that the primitive way of breaking Eggs, before we eat them, was upon the larger End: But his present Majesty's Grand-father, while he was a Boy, going to eat an Egg, and breaking it according to the ancient Practice, happened to cut one of his Fingers. Whereupon the Emperor his Father published an Edict, commanding all his Subjects, upon great Penaltys, to break the smaller End of their Eggs. The People so highly resented this Law, that our Histories tell us there have been six Rebellions raised on that account; wherein one Emperor lost his Life, and another his Crown. These civil Commotions were constantly fomented by the Monarchs of Blefuscu; and when they were quelled, the Exiles always fled for Refuge to that Empire. It is computed, that eleven thousand Persons have, at several times, suffered Death, rather than submit to break their Eggs at the smaller End. Many hundred large Volumes have been published upon this Controversy: But the books of the Big-Endians have been long forbidden, and the whole Party rendered incapable by Law of holding Employments. During the Course of these Troubles, the Emperors of Blefuscu did frequently expostulate by their Ambassadors, accusing us of making a Schism in Religion, by offending against a fundamental Doctrine of our great Prophet Lustrog, in the fifty-fourth Chapter of the Brundrecal (which is their Alcoran.) This, however, is thought to be a meer Strain upon the Text: For the Words are these: That all true Believers shall break their Eggs at the convenient End: and which is the convenient End, seems, in my humble Opinion, to be left to every Man's Conscience, or at least in the power of the Chief Magistrate to determine.

^starcity?

Eh?

It's fucking Gullivers Travels you numpty. The section where Swift satirizes the pointlessness of the wars between the Catholics and the Protestants by alikening them to a conflict over which end of the boiled egg they cut off.

I despair sometimes.

I knew that.

Forward Fred the memo, then.

We're getting off topic: what's it to be, Aluminium or Steel? And, while we're at it: Mac or PC?

vegemite is for pussies, it's not strong enough, i buy marmite in bulk, keep it for at least 5 years to let it 'develop' then i spread it on toast as thick as you would with chocolate spread.

Quality link RPM, though it makes me think of Garth Marenghi's Darkplace these days.

If you're wearing any garments with more than 45%/55% cotton/polyester blend: Alu.

If it's a day of the week beginning with 's': Alu.

If you felt like you had a cold coming on the previous night, but it didn't blossom: Steel.

If you've had oral sex within the past 3 days: Alu.

If, at your most recent local elections, there was at least a 10% swing in the favour of the Conservatives: Steel.

If you can speak more than 3 languages: Alu.

If you're currently lower than VB in the reputation league: Steel.

If you can recite the alphabet backwards in less than 12 seconds: Alu.

It's a no-brainer really.
