I get more comments about my road bike.
random person: "Man that is a nice bike. Carbon Fiber?"
me: "Yeah, it is alright. It would be nicer if I didn't crack my frame. I guess that makes me stupid for commuting on a carbon fiber bike. I need a good steel bike"
rp: "My friend has a carbon fiber bike."
me: "Yeah there are a lot of people that like to waist money."
rp: "???"
The frame on my bike sucks, but I got it for next to nothing. Now I need to buy another frame. Cracked it after 3 months, but I cannot return it. Hopefully, I can get a good deal on steel.
