I don't know why you would expect anyone else to tell you what you SHOULD ride. I have 6 bikes and they have either steel, CF or AL frames. I enjoy each for what it is. FWIW I'm 76 and weigh 190 lbs. I'm still fairly strong but,like you, not a good climber. But when I climb I can certainly tell the difference between my 17 b 11 oz steel Guru Sidero and my CF 15 lb Guru Photon.
