Re:
It’s definitely more about the geometry. I can’t tell any difference between 531 & 653. I’ve never had a 753 so cant comment. Ridewise, there is vey little to chose between 853 and 953. 953 is a bit lighter yes and super strong but one of the reasons I chose it was the stainless properties that mean you can leave stays unpainted or polish them.
There’s a bit of brand snobery of course and I suppose the steel market is no different to carbon in that regard. Who wouldn’t wasn’t a Colnago over a Btwin?
