The bike I use at the moment for general riding is an early Decathlon Triban 5 with 7 speed Nexus hub gears. The frame is aluminium but my dilemma is that I also have an old raleigh reynolds 501 Pioneer frame laying around.
What would be your personal choice in frames for the bike, and why? Aluminium, or Reynolds 501? Weight will obviously be more for the Reynolds but weight isn't my concern. Comfort and rideability is more important. Both frames are in good nick.
