It's the ride. I am no retrogrouch and truly appreciate the performance of modern materials/bikes....BUT.....We are WAY down the slippery slope of change for the sake of change (press fit bottom brackets anyone?) and in the quest for lighter this and stiffer that bikes have lost any semblance of BALANCE. Balance is what makes a bike great and results from years of refinement. Nothing matches the ride quality of a great steel bike.
