I'm looking to buy a new bicycle, i think i'm going to get a cannondale and i've been researching frames and my options are aluminum, carbon, or alloyIt will be a road bike and everywhere i read i find warnings saying how fragile these bikes are, particularly the carbon and aluminum, that if the drop or anything it might dent or crackI don't race a whole lot but i want something that i can have for a while but will also be very comfortable riding for long periods of timeDoes anyone have good advice or experience with these frames and can tell me if these are huge factors that I should worry about or are the warnings just because it has happened a few times.
