Material is less important than fit. If you fit well on a stock frame, good for you and I’d be happy on carbon. Personally, at 6’4" I don’t fit any stock frames particularly well and have been riding a custom Ti frame for 9 years. Awesome. I have a new road frame on order (steel!) that will allow for modern wider tires and disc brakes. I plan to build it up with campy 12 and carbon wheels. The pound or so I’m giving up in weight to a carbon frame will not matter compared to having the fit I want. Can’t wait. Fit fit fit. That is what’s important. Get the fit right and everything else will be fine.
