PRECISELY! I have/have had all of the aforementioned frame materials (except bamboo), and there are crappy and wonderful examples of all. I also hold the controversial belief that there is no significant difference in frame material 'ride' or 'feel' (when done right) other than in the minds of the proponents. That said, ride what you like and enjoy the heck out of it!
