Going by perception, the worst jackhammer of a bicycle frame I've ever ridden was a carbon road racing bike, much worse than my aluminum-framed Emonda.
That says very little about any other frames in any material. Or about anything at all, really.
Going by perception, the least-lively-pedaling frame I've ever pedaled is steel. But so is the most-lively. I'm not sure what to make of that, but there are a lot of things that I won't make of it.
