I'm not a conformist which is why I'm checking out the Langster. Right now, practically speaking, the steel might be better for NYC streets. They are both beautiful looking bikes. Tho I think cross levers look cooler than the drop levers.
Why did IRO stop making aluminum bikes? No demand?

I've read some of the comments on how a true poster here would not ask questions about FG/SS fashion. ;-)
The OP should check out the concept behind the "No True Scotsman" fallacy:
Teacher: All Scotsmen enjoy haggis.
Student: My uncle is a Scotsman, and he doesn't like haggis!
Teacher: Well, all true Scotsmen like haggis.
