By slim, do you mean smaller diameter tubes? If so, then steel is what you want. If you want light steel, check out Wabi Cycles - among others.

Are you sure that you're sure because you sure didn't use a smiley either which I'm sure you sure didn't use one.

I know for sure that I'm sure so here's my smiley seal of sureness:
