Now that we're seeing more and more ful carbon frame bikes (made even more popular by LA's 6th win), I can't help wonder what's best in terms of performance and speed. (my experience is limited to steel, but I'm looking to buy a performance bike)
The owner of my LBS let me ride his Trek OCVL carbon frmae last week and didn't like the "wooden" feel,
AL on the other side feels more uinforgiving, stiffer, which is good for quick accelerations.

Owners of AL and Carbon alike feel free to express your experiences with these two frames and you're lucky to own both so much the better.

What gives, Carbon/ AL?
