Can't anyone say "STEEL" anymore?
It has a great ride, lasts a long time, is fixable, can be bent back if " tweaked" and very competitive price wise.
So what if some steel frames are a bit heavier, just eat less. So what if the pros use the other stuff, pro teams can go through over 50 frames a year. Do you think maybe the sponsors supply the other stuff beacause they want to sell more products because the other materials will break easier or need to be replaced more often?
