Reynolds 853 vs. Aluminum Posted by Bill Homer [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Thanks for the info. Never ridden a Kestrel., Schu, Fri, 20 May 2005 10:23:12 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I have a stock Waterford 2200 frame made of Reynolds 853 steel - their "road racing" geometry with fairly steep angles, somewhat stiff for a steel frame. This bike is absolute butter in comparison to my previous Cannondale aluminum frame, even with their carbon fork. I had to switch because I could not stand getting beaten up on every 40+ mile ride, but do occasionally miss the incredible responsiveness. There is more to it than just the material - geometry, tube thickness, tube flaring, etc.
