Tell me any material other than carbon which could hit sub 700 grams remain reliable at mass market pricing. How about comfort, no way any titanium frame is as comfortable as a Roubaix or Domane. Carbons amazing weight to strength ratio as well as total flexibility regarding layup means it is unbeatable in any cycling related arena.
Now that's the kind of argument I was looking for. Thank you. So far I am leaning in the direction of carbon since I'm not even looking at steel. I just know there are a lot of steel disciples out there. But I haven't ruled out alum or titanium yet either.
