Times change, people change, and yes technology marches on.
Steel and alum frames have had their time in the sun. many will always hold on to the compassion due to emotional attachment, the longing for a previous time in their lives, or just plain stubbornness.
congratulations on the epiphany. save your steel, ride your carbon. evolve.
