But you chose a good bike for going fast and long. Steel would have made you slower.
one of those 100 milers was on a steel bike with 26" fat tires and mustache bars. it weighs about 28lbs....so not sure a nice 20lb steel bike would make me slower . don't get me wrong I don't dislike my Canyon but I don't look at it and think dang that is a nice looking bike.
