I wonder why the OP crashes so much. Maybe the money would be better spent on body armor?
I don't believe that I said that I have crashed often in relation to the number of rides that I have taken, but I have crashed a few times in my 12 years on my current bike. Other than minor surface scratches and a bent rear derailleur, my bike works as well as the day I bought it. I'm just ready for a new bike so I can go faster. The best frame material (and actually the best bike choice) is what is being discussed here.
I haven't seen body armor for cyclists advertised...
