I will definitely post a review here. I had an '04 EV3 Aluminum frame about two years ago. The fit was fantastic, but the all-aluminum frame literally kicked my ass. Scared me away from aluminum framesets for a long time. Finally decided to give an aluminum-carbon bike a shot this Summer with the Wilier, and I was very happy with the ride quality. But it was too small. Been keeping my eyes peeled for an aluminum 57cm Bianchi for a while now, preferrably with carbon stays to smooth out the ride a little. Got my lucky break this week!

I'm a big carbon fiber fanboy, but it's hard to ignore the deals that can be had with aluminum framesets these days. A well made Al frame doesn't have to ride harshly either.
