Hay all
Im in the market for a new bike and was initially considering a mid range alloy / carbon forked roadie with tiagra running gear. At the shop, the guy showed me a last years model steel frame, which was a bit more expensive but ran ultrega running gear.
Ive read around the place that steel is a better ride than alloy and lasts better, + ultrega would be nice..... is it worth the extra cost? (approx $500 aus, $250 US)
