Im not mocking steel bikes.. they are robust.. very rugged.. But aren't they a bit heavy too?
With everyone trying to be light and go carbon.. Im seeing so much "Steel is Real"
Now? It's been the thing for decades.
If you do a Google search on "steel is real" quote, the first result up is dated 2005.
Plus of course, bicycles have been built out of steel since ... well ... pretty much the beginning. Seriously, read some history!

And steel doesn't have to be heavy.
