I am considering a Fierte and would appreciate anyone that has experience with both of these versions. Naturally the IT version costs more and I am trying to appreciate the ride and weight differences between the two.

Thanks

Get the steel and upgrade on the components.

It would be great if you could test ride,,,,,Steel vs a carbon/ti...I would take the IT.

It really depends on your budget and also which one you like the looks of....

They both ride very nice and a good set of wheels and tires does more for a given ride than what the material is. THey both have a carbon fork.

Ti/carbon is a forumla for no rust ever...but if you take care of steel, rust will be a minor concern for many many years...

Sorry there is not correct answer - :) enjoy for you will be happy with either.
