View attachment 790534I own two bikes with press fit bottom brackets, I ride a lot in the wet and mud and they’ve been zero trouble, one for more than 7 years. I think the problems came from poor quality frames.
As far as material choice: I think you are prioritizing wrong. You need to focus on finding a bike you like to ride. I briefly owned a ti road bike that I despised because it was dead and floaty feeling, I also own an old moots cx bike. Turns out that moots frame rubs me the right way, nice sprint but with the airy feel of ti.
I recently purchased a used cielo road racer (photo above). It’s steel with carbon fork, disc brake and… just wonderful ride, great sprint and smooth and vibrant. I’ve poo pooed steel because of the rust but this one is worth it.
My advice is ride a bunch of bikes and get the one you like most. Maybe be open to all materials.
There’s a lot more to a bikes ride than the material. From the huge variation I’ve experienced I’m never buying another bike that I’ve not ridden first.
