Howdy, All,
I still amazed that folks think that weight is all that important to a racing bicycle. I have seen no data indication that it matters relative to the true drag a cyclist faces--aerodynamic drag. Compared to wind drag, weight in almost all situations is trivial. Even the much vaunted rotational weight pales before wind resistance.
Consequently, I find dismissing steel for reasons of weight is foolishness.

John Taglia Chicago, the windy city (and darn cold, too, today)
