I might argue that he is mainstream. Of all the cyclist there are, how many actually race? His take is at the very least, interesting. Sent from my iPhoneOn Jan 29, 2024, at 4:00 PM, DavidP  wrote:I may have had a similar reaction when the article first came up in my feed but then I saw the byline.This is Eben Weiss, BikeSnobNYC.

Many people thought the original aluminum frames were uncomfortable. I agree.
I believe modern aluminum frames are more comfortable.  Also now that we are 
riding 32mm and larger tires at lower pressures whatever comfort disadvantage 
has pretty much disappeared.

With all respect to Mr. Weiss, the logical material for racy/roady types is 
aluminum, not steel.
Nearly as light as carbon, significantly more robust, cheaper, and has the 
modern look and feel.

It's a long way from a carbon Trek to a steel bike -- and whose steel bike do 
you buy? It'd have to be be something completely different.
Whereas some road and gravel models from major manufacturers are available in 
either carbon or aluminum.
That's what I read, anyway, in an article about the cost/benefit equation for 
aluminum vs. carbon. It made sense to me.

But what do I know... I'm riding 80s aluminum AND 80s steel and enjoy both.

This is Eben Weiss, BikeSnobNYC. He's a regular contributor to Outside but he 
is in no way a mainstream cyclist (more Riv/Bob-ish) and his articles stand out 
as a bit different to most of what shows up there.
