Your "point" is akin to comparing sports cars by their trunk sizes.
Don't speak for everyone. (And as usual, you leave out all the other relevant points in your typical failed attempt to do nothing more than say someone is wrong. Rinse and repeat, over and over and over and over and over.)

Some of us prefer aluminum over CF - Some of us would like a decently outfitted alu bike for a better price than it's CF counterparts... We don't expect the newly touted great bike to be heavier than the last version - by a decent amount, and with not much bang for the buck.

I really do think - and I don't know why - that some of y'all do nothing more than come here to tell people that (you think) - they are wrong. I really don't know the motivation...

Sorry Charlie - no matter how you spin it. 4 grand for an aluminum bike with alloy wheels is just stupid. Is that clear enough for you?
