Ask yourself how many machines that are made for HEAVY work or torsinal loading
are made of anything but steel. Are cars? Are road construction equipment? Are trucks?
etc. to start getting a picture of the correct material to build ANY load bearing equipment
from......be they bicycles or semi-trucks.

Steel is real. Everything else wants to be steel.
