my spooky havocstaff was unforgivin. Was stiff and harsh but also one of my favorite bikes of all time (maybe my favorite), that bike was fast and felt like it was on rails. I don't attribute it only to the material though, the geo was pretty aggressive.

You, sir, have a good eye and good taste and know a good ride when you see one.
I had a fire engine red back in the day and when I saw this one I had to h ave it. Still securing the decals and when done will for sure post it. It's amazing that under $1,500 got you a hand assembled made in USA aluminum and carbon frame with awesome geo and a full carbon fork. Quote:

That be the one. What a machine!!!!! Just such an epic frame and who knew that by taking off the finish it looked even better. I ordered the wrong size clamp for the front D and the decals still need to be secured. I will shortly upgrade to an ENVE fork but after the holidays.
These are all great aluminum frames but the six13 and SystemSix were on another level and made in America at a price your average CAT 1 journeyman could afford. |

I didn't know some of the bikes in here were made of aluminum until browsing this thread.
My first fixed gear was aluminum, a EAI brassknuckle. Incredibly ugly bike, but fun in college. Friend has an early Cannondale, pre CAAD, that he loves. |

I had a Kona zing made from dedaccai al. It rode very nicely. It was not harsh, even with 23s.
I'd get another aluminum bike if it rode as nice. Maybe when I finally get a gravel oriented bike. |

Very impressive. I don't know how old you are but it is amazing to realize what some of us road when we were young. My first "real" bike was an old aluminum Cannondale. 52/42 front with a 13-21 7 speed cassette. I rode a century on that bike - with probably over 8000 feet of climbing. The thought of doing something like that now at my age makes my knees scream and my ass ache.
