RE: Steel vs aluminum

Didn't say it did.....
All I noted was that for a non-resonant structure.....you could do worse than Aluminum.

It's other properties of no fatigue strength have little to do with a reframe.....
Personally? I'd start with a 7000 series alloy......one of the bondable ones, so I could glue it together. Most of the 6000 series are OK for bicylce frames after broght to T6 treatment....but still and all? That's no better than mild steel tubing.....

I've alwasys felt that INGENIOUS design trumps sheer mass or the bridge style frames I see so much of.
Too much is never enough
