All of my bikes are some form of "Premium" Steel.
Either DB 4130
Columbus
Reynolds 531.
I have a weird aversion to Hi-Ten, even though the best riding bike ive ever owned was my Hi-Ten Le Tour single speed conversion.
Growing up, I raced/rode bmx bikes. Hi-Ten bikes were the ones with the shoddy welding that would always break.
4130 bikes were the ones that could take punishment day after day.
Its been hard to shake that.
I will admit, my LeTour was nicer than all my other bikes in the ride department.
