Do we want to travel down this path again ?

Aluminium has proven itself as a sound material for bicycles and accounts for most of the bicycle sales on the planet.

On the other hand... steel is real.

Maybe one of the best bicycles I have ever owned was Aluminium... on road, off road, summer, winter, touring, towing... you name it... it could do it.









My friend now has the Trek because she wanted a really great bike and I have spares.
