[QUOTE="MustangMike, post: 7883328, member: 120204"] The bike frame makes a huge difference. When I first started riding with the group, I had an entry level aluminum frame, and I just could not keep up with the group. At 6'1" 185 lbs is not a lot, but it made me one of the heavier guys in the group. When I got the Carbon Madone 5.2 all of a sudden, I could stay with these guys, especially going uphill. I had no idea how much power I was losing to frame flex. The better frames are also more aerodynamic and ride and handle better. Carbon frames smooth your ride. They layer the carbon to flex one way but not another. [/QUOTE]
