wintersab Posted April 18, 2017 Share I love steel and carbon both. Here are some fun facts to spice up the conversation.  People who will smoke me when I am riding my steel Merckx: 1) The version of me riding a carbon bike2) Eddy Merckx 20 years ago riding a steel bike3) Most of the same people who would smoke me when I am riding a carbon bike People who I will smoke when I am riding my steel Merckx: 1) Most of the same people I will smoke when riding a carbon bike. The biggest class of exceptions being: anyone with a W/kg really really close to mine but riding a superlight bike on a long climb or flat section. 2) All of the same people I will smoke on a carbon bike on a descent. 3) Everyone who slows down to gawk at my awesome, 80's Merckx.  People who will smoke me when I am riding one of my carbon bikes: 1) Eddy Merckx 20 years ago riding a steel bike2) Tons and tons of other people Steel has a huge added bonus: you can get 2 or 3 vintage, top-of-the-line steel frames for the price of one top-of-the-line carbon frame. But there are some carbon frames that I simply cannot resist. Look, feel, everything is amazing.  Of course carbon is stiffer. Of course steel is heavier. But the real question for consideration is: how much fun will you have blowing by a fleet of carbon junkies on your super rad steel, 80's paint-job, hats-off-to-the-gods-of-yesteryear weapon? seanp, Yusran, NE1L and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Bob Posted May 9, 2017 Share Y? Sent from my SM-G570F using Tapatalk A) because I'm an idiotB) because I'm an idiotC) because I'm an idiotD) because I've got a new frame coming for a different kind of build and I just can't ride 3 bikes. The Dee Dar was last in so first out. Also because out of the two options I have to sell this will be more affordable for potential buyers and also I know the Tranny 29'r will be a hard sell here in SA. E) because I'm an idiotF) Also I'm heading to the UK in couple of months and will most likely pick up another one when I'm there as I know I'm going to miss it and regret it but need to free up coin for the new bike & wheel build now. By then I'll be bored of the new bike and want the Dee Dar back! G) because I'm an idiot Edited May 9, 2017 by hellocolour TAAHIRWP, Captain Fastbastard Mayhem, gummibear and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
