I've ridden aluminum and steel, and was just stating that I loathe steel, as most of the bikes I've ridden were heavier.
This guy isn't buying a kilo tt, he's trying to build a bike on a budget. If he's only willing to drop 300 on a frameset, I think it's safe to assume he isn't spending a lot on the other components, therefore he's going to end up with a fairly heavy bike.
You people get too sensitive in the steel versus aluminum debate, I admitted that it was all preference.
If people can constantly say that the kilott is the best bike under 600 dollars and everyone on earth should buy one, I don't think it's wrong for me to say that I think the leader 725 is the best frameset under 300 right now.
