quality / comfort of ride? alu versus carbon (oh my goodness not THAT "which material" can of worms again.)
but I am just thinking, if aluminum rides as boneshakingly as I hear (I've never spent any real time on aluminum), who wouldn't make the $500-1000 leap for greater comfort less or same weight?
