I use to feel the same way about steel
untill we upgraded from our Co-Motion Supremo to a Co-Motion aluminum frame Robusta. All I can say is WOW!! the aluminum Robusta handles fast and the ride is great every bit as good as our steel Supremo even better in some ways. That is saying a lot considering we prefer not to use a suspention seat post on our tandems. The Robusta is Stiff and fast climbing with a great ride it does not get any better than that, it made me a believer.
Take Care & Ride Together.
