RE: Steel vs aluminum

Nope, wrong again. Steel is the best metal for a road bike, at least in terms of comfort, flexibility and overall enjoyment. It's you who are jumping to conclusions.

Steel provides the best ride, other metals like titanium are obviously lighter, and even stronger, which certainly deserves some consideration, but still even though the heaviest metal used in road bike construction is the best ride, you can make up for the weight penalty other ways. That's why very high grade steel bikes like my All City Mach Man are so damn expensive. The roads around here are all downhill, which helps considerably.

Titanium, measures better, rides worse. Sound familiar?
