Poll: Your Choice of Material on your Road Frame
Doing a poll just curious is to what preference of choice material on road your frame? Please be civilized and just vote for the material of your choice! We don’t want turn this into a big debate or a certain material war or so. There is no need to say why you think one material is better than the others. This is just a survey of choice and preference of material for your road frames.

My 2008 Jamis Quest is 631 steel. I like it a whole lot, but I don't have a lot of basis for comparison in road frame materials, nor do I necessarily care that much as long as it's comfortable.
Edit: I guess my Bridgestone RB-T is a road frame too... it's Columbus EX 4130.

Monocoque is not a material. Fail.

Who voted for "All Others". And what the heck did you vote for? I can't think of anything else, except wood.
