Feeling fast vs going fast
All my bikes have somewhat similar geometry and components, but different frame material. I definitely feel fastest on the full carbon, and followed by the steel bike, and feel the slowest on the titanium one. I did a few experiments and the actual speed difference for the same ride under similar conditions turned out to be very small (<0.2 mph).
So what exactly makes you feel fast? Is it the difference in the flex of the frame?
