considering a new frame
I'm just starting to think about a new frame and would like some input from forum members.
I just sold my steel Pinarello Vuelta to another formite and now I'm toying with the idea of a modern steel replacement. I loved my Pinarello but I didn't ride it much...it was just a sunny day nice ride kind of bike for me. I was thinking of replacing a carbon frame with a modern steel frame. I will want to hang Campy Record EPS on it. I now have to decide on frame material and builder. I have in mind steel, stainless(xcr), or maybe titainium. I contacted Carl Strong, he suggests Titainium or regular modern steel over XCR, although he will build with it if I want. if I get regular steel...I'm also considering Marinoni....Priuma Supreme. So....what to consider?? Titainium..such as Strong?? or his steel frames. or if steel....Marinoni??? and....what does anybody think of stainless such as XCR??? I really would like the bike to be a modern bike with a weight that is closer to carbon than my old Pinarello. I am only hesitant to Ti because I have had a Litespeed Classic years ago and I liked carbon better when I switched..Carl Strong says modern Ti is way better than the older stuff. need comments and opinions.
