A comfortable carbon bike that flexes where it should, and has stiffness where it should, is like $1200, what kind of steel bike are you getting for $1200? Heavy, clunky, gas pipe garbage is what you're getting.
And then if you do fred out and buy the $5000 steel bike all you larpers pretend you're riding (even though we all know it's a gaspipe surly with QR dropouts and cable disc brakes, but let's pretend), sure now you have the #souplesse and #planing but if you look at it funny it dents and then it's game over, it can't be fixed.
At least you can fix carbon.
