It's Reynolds 853 steel with Campagnolo 9spd and Record/Open Pro wheels. The saddle is a Fizik Arione with a Record TI seatpost. Pedals are LOOK Carbon KEO. The bike weighs about 19lbs with pedals and cages. I built it up myself after having it professionally repainted.

I keep hearing good things about steel frames. If I can get away with buying a new frame, it'll be tough to decide between a steel and a full carbon.

I picked up my frame used on ebay with the original fork. It was a mess cosmetically but sound structurally so I sent it to a place literally right down the street from where I work called Cyclart. Man, they do nice work. Highly recommended if you need to have a bicycle repainted. I have about $1k in the frame alone but I had the components and bought the wheels for $300 from Performance Bike. In all, it's probably worth about $2500.

I have a full carbon bike and ride it quite a bit but I'm not any faster on it than I am on my steel LeMond. My CF bike is a LOOK with Campy 10spd and Ksyrium SL wheels. It weighs a bit under 17lbs.

not really looking for a lighter bike. Riding all Al hurts pretty bad on the routes we usually take. Lots of bumps and pot holes. Just looking for some comfort, was told by several people that steel is the way to go.

I am looking at getting a good bike to ride back and forth from work and school and also around campus. Can anyone recommend me a good brand for a poor college kid.

I don't mind a few hundred bucks but I know some bikes can get up there in price. I am mainly looking for one to ride around town and take the place of my car for short trips.

Thanks

I posted it before. It is my only bike at the moment because a friend is borrowing my other bike. PLus lately, I haven't had time to ride.

:Q we have one almost EXACTLY like that for sale in the shop!
You know anyone looking for a SMALL one of those!!?

Hahaha... that is awesome! Yeah I assembled that one myself. Carbon fiber handlebars are nice. I wish I had gotten a frame with zert inserts though. The frame is made more for time trial then anything and can sometimes get really uncomfortable.

Much cushier ride (really forgiving on long rides), a little heavier but still worth it to get a good steel everyday rider.

Whys that? Do steel frames give a little more than carbon?

At the start carbon is really stiff, but after years of riding it can actually get softer and flex a bit more. Steel dampens really well so it's forgiving on long rides, and it stays that way. Reynolds 853 is supposed to be the best steel you can get. Fairly light (20lb road bikes easy) and rust proof.

One thing I'm worried about with fiber is its ability to get damaged. I know that at least with carbon fiber trekking poles, it is not a question of if they will break (crack), but when. There is no carbon fiber trekking pole company that warrants their CF poles for a lifetime. There ARE companies that do so with their titanium poles, however. It makes me think that if you crash on a CF bike, it's got a good chance of cracking, whereas steel or titanium will just bend or dent.

A good Ti alloy is the best IMO, but way too crazy a price. Maybe if I win the lottery or something.
