Magnet test if you wanna know. If it doesn't look like it's carbon then it's either alu or steel. Guess which magnets are attracted to.
Don't think it matters much. Steel can take more impacts, al is lighter and supposed to be bendier. No great difference in any respect.

i jam my thumbs up and back into the tubes. this way i can point my fingers straight out in front to split the wind and attain an even more aero profile, and the usual fixed gear - zen - connectedness feeling through the drivetrain is multiplied ten fold because my thumbs become one with the tubing.
