Ha ha,LOLZ! Pro tip,don't get your facts from product marketing. I used an all-alloy bike for polo and it survived with only scratches. I'd still own it if using the coaster all the time hadn't started to bother my knee. My bad weather bike has an alloy frame. It was also used for polo,has hauled groceries,and been through every bad storm we've had since I got it. It's holding up just fine.

Try playing with the search engine and you'll find posts from a guy who broke like two steel Dahon frames. And not long ago,Salsa had a recall for some steel forks. Steel ain't magic.
