Best thing to do is to go to the website for a particular manufacturer, like Trek for carbon, Cannondale for aluminum, and maybe Serotta for steel and read about the different materials. What you pick is going to be associated with the type of riding you want to do.

There is a huge amount of info available.

Do A search on this site. Lots of wisdom here. In my opinion titanium of a reputable name is the best. :D :p ;) :)
