Heh, all the arguments over frame materials, and what do people actually feel when riding? Their tires, and whether or not the cables slap and vibrate depending on how they are routed.

The supersix is what software should try to be. Better than it's competitors when released, and it's been refined year over year, ignoring fads, to become a phenomenal machine.

Also, frame geometry and tubing size plays a larger factor in how the frame bends moreso than just the materials. Granted, to a certain extent, frame materials will dictate the geometry (e.g. skinny aluminum tubes would be a horrible idea).
