Sure, why not? My 725 has proven to be pretty versatile and is great for both bombing around town and doing long rides, especially now that I've got it weighing under 18lbs. I've done quite a few half-centuries this year and the only real drawback is the lack of bottle bosses but I've got a few detachable ones that do the trick. It's also surprisingly less harsh of a ride than I was expecting. Still not as forgiving as my steel 722, but nice and smooth nonetheless.

If you go aluminum, you're definitely going to want a carbon fork though. Trust me.
