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 alloy. It 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 crack. I 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 time. Does 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.

I have a Giant Crypress bicycle. Can I install a Truvative Hussefelt triple crank set with 22/32/44 rings ?

I’m running factory 28/38/48T steel chain rings, 7 speed cassette and chain. The crank arms are clunky Suntour aluminum pieces. I really need something lighter and stronger.
