Are you actually gonna ride an all aluminum road bike when you've got an orbea?

My prediction is that you're gonna hate it. I haven't been on an aluminum bike without a carbon fork. Can you get a steel fork maybe on an aluminum bike?

I know when I was riding aluminum, I did find that aluminum with carbon seatstays was more comfortable than just aluminum. But I haven't ridden aluminum in a while and it may be that a couple of years later, on well fitting aluminum I'd be fine. My core and the rest of that is a lot stronger and I've dialed in fit better.

Do you maybe want to go used with a backup bike? I know the old trek 520's had 73 degree seat angles - not the newer ones (those have the 75's or whatever)
