How would this Giant with Aluxx SL and Ultegra compare ?I read (admittedly via Giant !) that their best aluminium frames are lighter and stiffer than many carbons...

Feel free to recommend any bikes /links etc

Use - irregular fast training MAYBE club races -but likely a few very long spins .

Planet X carbon frames are very good, from experience.
