I have a Reynolds 520 Steel frame and granted, it's not the heaviest frame around, it is still hefty, weighing in at 4.65 pounds, without the fork. I was considering a lighter steel frame from Viner, which weighs about 3.09 pounds without the fork, a small difference which ultimately would not really matter, once my componenets were installed.
I recently came across a GIANT aluminum frame, I believe it is the TCR. It's total weight, including fork, is only about 3 pounds. At this point, I am wondering wat the pros and cons are. I understand there is a weight recommendation for aluminums, which is not a consideration for me. and that it might be a harsher ride??? If there is someone out there that can give me an idea of what I'm getting into, please let me know.
