What are the advantages of each?
I don't mean to be rude but this topic has been beat to death.
Carbon for light weight and vibration damping properties
Aluminum for light weight, good corrosion properties, and it's ability to build into a stiff, ridged frame without undue weight
Ti for it's no-corrosion factor and reasonably light weight
Steel for it's easy customization: ability to be either super ridged or a flexi magic carpet depending on the tubes selected. Not light though.
