the average commuter will likely never break a mass produced alu or steel frame. i am not the average commuter.
What are you doing with your bikes?
Its not like I ride mine a couple km's per day: I've done long distance tours on mine, and mixed road/offroad long distance events. And its also a stand in commuter when I'm wrenching on the full time commuter.
