...I know this because I ride it once or twice a year, otherwise it hangs on the wall in my home. It hangs there because my carbon bike is lighter (a lot), stiffer yet quiets bumps and vibrations better. I have both and choose the carbon bike 99.9% of the time...the steel bike goes out to show it off.
