Everything I want my bike to do is done. No complaints. I haven't asked
I still don't understand why an aluminum frame bike that accepts big tires is going to be a ride quality issue. The people at Schwalbe love to wax prophetic about the joy of large diameter tires.
What's your point?
I don't have anything against aluminum bikes in general. But he did say in his first post that he prefers "steel or something else very comfy". That's what I was referring to. Aluminum bikes have a lot of advantages - low weight, no rust, low cost, rigidity etc.
