In diesem Zusammenhang darf ich das Zentralorgan des Mountainbikens, pinkbike, zitieren:
If there were no price difference between carbon and aluminum frames, aluminum mountain bikes would be extinct, except for those built by bike makers, or for customers who adhere to religious beliefs about the cosmic virtues that steel and aluminum bestow upon otherwise ordinary fabricated structures.
Dem ist nichts hinzuzufügen.
