A good aluminium bike!

[miday]

Is this still possible to say that you have a good aluminium bike! I've just built up a new commuter and I'm pretty impressed with it. Or am I just excited about new equipment and I've got myself a wooden tennis racquet?

Australia's best ever female cyclist Kathy Watt currently rides & wins on a Bianchi alloy frame & when Danilo Di Luca rode for Bianchi last year he insisted on an alloy Bianchi too. Either alloy is not too bad or Bianchi's carbons ride like ****

Anything Scandium Alu (Bianchi and Ridley make good ones). Amazingly stiff, a sprinters bike.

I'm not a carbon basher -- I just bash the price (http://www.fitzroycycles.com.au/moreinfo.cfm?Product_ID=1251) -- but Boonen is also riding lau at the moment

Apparently so, because if you take a tour of Ebay for example you will note that the majority of current bike frames are made of it. Someone is buying them, and I'd assume that they consider them to be good bikes.
