Just sayin...

And I've broken more steel bikes than carbon. They all break.

Steel:

Cinelli at the head tube
Nishiki Comp III at the rear dropout
Nishiki Team Pro through the down tube
Eisentraut at the head tube twice and once at the seat stay cluster
Gianni Motta at the BB shell
Raleigh Comp at the BB shell
Trek 460 at the BB shell

Aluminum:

Alan CX - de-bonded at the head tube

Carbon:

Specialized Roubaix Pro - BB sleeve de-bonded.
