    I've got steel, alu, carbon and my lad has a Ti frame. I like all of my bikes - I cant honestly say that I favour one material enough over another. Theres too many other factors.

    Aluminium is a far better frame material for making full suspension mtb out of than either Ti or Steel.

    As for road bikes, you can make a really nice bike out of aluminium, same as all the other materials really.

    It's not what material it's made from, it's how it's made...

    Another steel Waterford 33 rider here, quite simply the comfiest/best handling bike i have ever owned, oh and its light and fast. I have ridden many of the best carbon frames and they cannot come close.

    This post is useless without pics!

    Why?

    Because I need to see your waterford!
    It’s the most beautiful sport in the world but it’s governed by ***ts who have turned it into a crock of ****.

    I'll show you mine if you show me yours. You can have a look at mine. It's a S33 in blue with ultegra and hope hoops. How do you get a picture on here then?

    No, a Principia Rex, a Bianchi EV3, a Caad10 or a Colnago Dream in Mapei or Zabel colours. Any one of them.
