I would like to see a review where you transfer all the same parts from an aluminum HT frame to a comparable steel frame, and provide your findings. I'm willing to bet the benefits of steel isn't as great as we're all used to hearing because of 29er wheels, big volume tires, and tire inserts. But the 2lb weight savings of alu isn't trivial at all. Its time we challenged this 25+ year old tribal thinking.
