Until I rode an S-Works Roubaix this year, I wasn't convinced that any carbon fiber bike would/could ride as nicely as a steel Lemond Sarthe I picked up on ebay, and I would gladly ride a hand-built custom steel frameset (from the right builder with the right tubeset) over any carbon fiber bike I'd ridden previously. Keep in mind, I'm not a weight-weenie, so a pound or so more frame weight means nothing to me. Comfort and durability, on the other hand... much more important. You mean the yellow Tsunami with the yellow decals wasn't your favorite bike? Bret |
