If I am catching a group of riders, I go out of my way to power through, up into the 52/9 and power up. Then I get some funny looks as my trike goes flying past, only for them to catch my up when I’m spinning 30/34 on a little uphill 👿

carbon is better because the pros use it.

WRONG, The pro’s have no choice as to what they are riding, the team are told their bike with be…. X and then they can fit whatever to it within the sponsor agreement.

The reason they ride carbon in most races is because they are told to ride it.

Look at pro’s OUT of the race, alot of them are NOT using carbon frames 😉 😉

Aluminium over carbon every time.

NO, if Aluminium was as expensive as Titanium it wouldn’t be a “premium” frame, because Titanium is difficult to work with and is mainly used for custom bikes, although it is filtering down.

If Aluminium did reach that price, everyone would be flying around on cheap carbon and Aluminium would be the “new” carbon.

I do not consider carbon to be a premium material at the moment, they would just change about, Titanium would stay up there.

As steel is making quite a big come back, I expect to see more people going steel over carbon in the next few years aswell.

To me, unless something improves in carbon frame’s. They are on the edge of “having their day” the reason I say this. Look at pro teams, almost every rider needs a different bike set up. Steel, Aluminium and even Titanium as all easier to build a custom frame to each riders need vs Carbon, where they get a “general” frame size given to them and have to muck about with stems and saddle height, handle bar width.

So to sum up. NO it wouldn’t be classed as premium like Titanium is at the moment, in MY eyes :B
