Does anyone have any experience riding a Cervelo Prodigy or any newer steel frame? Does steel have so much give that a 130 lb rider would notice? Would you recommend a newer 2000-2003 steel frame or an older 1995-1999 carbon fiber frame. Both would be built up with new components.

Would you recommend a newer 2000-2003 steel frame or an older 1995-1999 carbon fiber frame. Both would be built up with new components.I have a 2003 Super Prodigy that I bought last May. I'm ~195-200 lbs., and I find it plenty stiff! If you're 130, I think you'll find it stiff as well.
I can't get into the newer steel vs. older carbon issue, though.
Good luck!
