Default Aluminum Frames

I have to say that the Eddy Merckx is a great riding bike. It being aluminum and aluminum having a very bad reputation (I suppose through direct comparison to steel frames) I didn't think that the Eddy was going to ride well. But it does. Well, after the tires wore in.

The Douglas is also a very good handling bike but it is significantly harder riding.

It will be interesting to see how the Douglas Ti rides.
