hey all! i am in a bit of a quandry here,
have recently managed to break my old carbon frame (alloy rear drop out on the brake side collapsed when was d#cking around!!) and have had to rebuild my old tech full susser to keep me riding, but am really not enjoying it!
so have been looking at frames to replace it and have been noticing a lot of positives over the on one 456, and at the price it is its particularly caught my eye,
the trouble is, the way the carbon bike was in its stiff, direct feel, chuckable, light weight and snappy'ness were what i loved about it (apart from the obvious looks!!) and having not had any real experience on steel frames but dont want to commit to it and find it doesnt do what i like??
so really the question is are there anyone out there that has either gone from carbon to steel or has both carbon and steel HT for a comaprison??
i know the general rule is to ride them and get a feel etc. but on a frame only buy its not so easy??
the other thing is that a replacement carbon frame almost identicle to the one i had can be had for just over £200, so there isnt a Massive jump in prices of them both! would be a lot easier if one was £400+ and the other as per the on one!!!
any help or tips for a confused mind greatly appreciated!!
Timmo.
