Oh, I never had a carbon frame bike before so all my perception was based on my friend's comment and what I read online, definitely not saying they are all absolutely right but just something for me to consider about. After a few phone calls to LBS around the area, they are telling me a force that is strong enough to break a carbon frame will as well damage aluminum frame too, and in fact aluminum frame are harder to fix than carbon, so that kind of got me back to starting point haha. I guess taking risk is part of starting your road bike adventure.
I have been reading around and also lurking around Yahoo Auction!
Currently I'm bidding for a 2018 Specialized Allez (105 gearset) at size 54, its around 60k++ now, but I'm not sure how far should I go up until, will keep my eye on it.
On the other hand I'm also looking at Scott's Speedster 20 Disc since Y's is taking it in stock now.
But for the price it comes with mechanical disc brake and also weights 10.20kg, so I'm not sure if it's good value, but I do like that it comes with 32mm tyre right away.
Gotta keep finding more and thanks for all the kind inputs!
