Bear in mind this is a company that does only steel frame bikes and sticks with tried-and-true stuff. So read with a grain of salt.
I just plain love the feel and sturdiness of a full steel frame, and I don't mind the little extra weight. From everything I've read, you just need to ride until you find the material that suits you best. Each material has it's plusses and minusses. And there are some STRONG opinions out there!
Edit: my commutermobile is aluminum with a steel fork. I love this bike! But for longer rides, I am happier with a full steel frame.
