True, it is far-fetched. You should explore the possibility that there
were difference other than the frame material of the two bikes in
question.

Same dimensions and angles. All other components moved over from one
frame to the other. Although admittedly the old one was blue and red
whilst the new one is just blue.

Someone needs to have their stack bolt flanges de-ionized.

Now I'm only a recreational cyclist ( 0 - 200 kms per week depending on
my mood) but I've just moved back to a steel frame from an aluminium
one. Although the steely is appreciably heavier to carry up the stairs
I'm finding I'm riding faster and longer on it than the old aluminium
one. My rides are rolling so whilst there are no really steep hills
it's continually up and down with typically just enough flat in between
so you've gotta work up all the rises( joy). I find particularly on one
of the longer hills, which has a pretty poor road surface, that I never
used to ride "thru the top" as my tenderised butt needed to come off
the saddle at the top to give it a break. Now i just pedal on through.

So in my personal experience it seems that any benefit you get from
the lighter frame of aluminium is offset by the fatigue your body
suffers as a result of the harsheness of your rides.
My 2c worth,
Cheers,
Will.

"Muscle jiggle?" Hmmm. On my usual bike route, I frequently encounter a
young person of the female persuasion who is a dedicated runner. If we are
both on our normal schedules, we approach each other, me pedaling, she
running. And I gotta tell you, she has some fine "muscle jiggle!!!"

Is that what you're asking about?

Uh, dood, if she was running towards you, those probably weren't
muscles... Now if you were overtaking her in the same direction...

That, too.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It might take a long time to find a suitable place to pass, but then, who's
in a hurry?

The ultimate quandry: do you ride behind her and enjoy the view, or
ride alongside her and enjoy the company?
