No, the Bowery is Aluminum w/steel fork

I rode both for a good bit of time, and went with the Bowery. The main reason I went that way is price (i have a buddy at the LBS w/ the bowery so i got a good deal) but it is a very nice solid frame, and contrary to popular opinion on here the aluminum is not too rigid to be a comfortable ride. Having said that I know both bikes are not too popular on this site, and I do agree that the sloping top tube is not great looking by any means. However, for the money they are both great bikes for the price. I have also heard online that the bowery is heavy, but they must have been weighing the biggest bowery made. I can say first hand that mine is very, very close to the weight of the Langster. If they were the same price i'd go Langster( if i could get the black frame). If the bowery is cheaper than go that way, I like the straight fork on the bowery better as well.
