If you look around a bit, you’ll discover a broad subculture of steel frame admirers; from older riders that grew-up on lugged steel framed bikes and are still nostalgic for the classic look and compliant ride characteristics, to younger riders who are discovering for the first time how versatile, comfortable, and durable steel is. If your over 50 and still confident and healthy enough to throw your leg over a vintage flat top tube drop bar road racer, be proud and pedal on.
