I took an Odonata out for a long test ride, and loved what the carbon did to the ride. Now the only decision left to make is Odonata or Elium. Any advice out there?

The placement of the carbon in the Odonata is far less strategic than in the Elium. Plus you will get the benefit of some slightly lighter titanium tubing with the Elium. I don't think the carbon seattube does much for ride comfort on the Odonata. A properly applied carbon in the top tube of the Elium may help increase the torsional resistence of the frame without sacrificing any ride comfort.

A friend has one and loves it.. I just ordered one today.. I have an 2002 Alaris Ti and am moving up, partly because my riding position has changed due to weight loss and that today I am not the pedal masher of yesteryear.. -------------------- Every Day is a Good Day!!!
