I'm in the market for a new cross bike; my old IF is eye catching, but I can't get it to fit me just right. I plan to race women's masters A and want to bring my game up a bit. I'm looking at the specialized crux elite (aluminum) with wheel set upgrade. Does anyone race this bike or have an opinion about a like option? Carbon fiber frame vs aluminum, etc. I am 5'3" and 115#.
