aluminum is dumb. steel is real.
seriously, steel is better than aluminum which is way better than carbon.
steel fails very slowly.
alumnimum can fail quickly.
carbon can snap like a twig.
steel is the very best and there are steel bikes that last literally forever.
there will be no old carbon bikes around.
i dont trust aluminum. but it can be ok if the manufacturer is ok.
if bikes were mortgages, steel is a 20% down fixed rate.
aluminum is 3% down fha
carbon is a neg amortization loan
old steel “10 speed bikes” wichich can take 28c to 35c tires are the best bikes for best price.
