Apologizes for my belated reply. Steel because I have always ridden high grade steel road and mtb bikes with an exception of one which is a 1992 merida albon a mix between4130 Crmo seat and stays glued into a 6061front triangle and a 4130crmo fork. Steel is comfy, lively, durable and easy to repair. As they say "Steel is real". I always favored one tube manufacturer over others which is Reynolds. 3 of my 7 bikes are made of Reynolds tubes. I have one Dedacciai DR Zero high grade steel italian made MTB. The next MTB will be in steel again and very probably a Reynolds 853 frame.
