Heres mine! Nothing overly fancy, but it rides well. 2007 Tommaso Monza. Looking to build a carbon bike soon.

I am 183 cm 6 feet, the bike is a 57 cm. It is not small at all. It is very low at the front because of the shortish TT headtube and the 650 wheels. It lets me get a huge drop from the seat to bars.

My classic here. This is what you get with someone low on money paying for their own bike, not pretty.

Trying racing an aluminum frame on crappy roads for 50+ miles, then do it on a steel bike. MUCH more comffortable on the steel ........
===========================================================
My ALLOY Bikes win over my STEEL bikes any day . At present I've got 2 aluminium framed bikes - training bike and racing bike(both with carbon forks) and have got a well designed steel framed bike(had it for 11 years but don't ride it now) and have had other steel framed bikes - Pinarello, Raleigh, Carlton etc.
Would rather have the alloys anyday - even on rougher roads.

Yeah me too. Much happier on the aluminum Fondriest with carbon than on the old steel bike I had.
