Remember, larger means stiffer for the same weight. As the bike market is changing, 1 1/8 is becoming the standard. If anyone is spending a lot of money on a custom bike, then getting the 1 1/8 in steerer is the smarter choice, especially if you consider you are getting a bicycle that will last many years. Who knows, in 15 years a full-carbon bicycle may seem quaint and old-fashioned and quite heavy. Post Extras
