Thinking of grabbing a second bike (well why wouldn't you!?) I currently have a Boardman AiR 9.0 Elite (2012) full carbon. Great bike for the finer weather. However, I'm not sure I feel good about putting it through it's paces in the cold, dark wet days around the corner. Any thoughts on how a CAAD 12 or 13 might compare? Will I be significantly slower on these Aluminium frames? I can really move like lightening as is until my shoulder kicks in and starts crippling me.
Admittedly, having had a Halfords alu jobbie road bike I do miss the sturdiness of it (real or imagined)
