Hello all. In the new world of the increase of carbon frames, are aluminum frames loosing their place? I come from a mountain biking background in the time when aluminum frames where the "thing". Are aluminum frames still used in some road racing? I am considering the Nashbar Frame

for a start into road competitions. Does anyone ride this frame that can comment on it. Do you's feel that it is up to par for light local racing? I currently have an '87 Raleigh Technium with the aluminum main frame and chromoly rear triangle and fork (with 126mm rear spacing, thus 27in. wheels). Would this Nashbar frame be an upgrade for me? Thanks for the help.
