With todays modern steel tubes you can have a steel bike about as light as any other bike out there. <br /><br />Steel will always look classic!Brian Wright-https://www.blogger.com/profile/13830390586122770648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6645169994371315314.post-92067254069530579152010-12-24T04:11:40.142-08:002010-12-24T04:11:40.142-08:00Steals the Deal, enjoyed the postSteals the Deal, enjoyed the postmrbillhttp://bikenbreakfast.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6645169994371315314.post-23011504811048409352010-12-23T00:59:22.213-08:002010-12-23T00:59:22.213-08:00I agree with Dan O.

That's not to say one is better than the other- just different.<br />Having said that the next bike on my 'want' list is in fact a Pegoretti Luigiano.TrevorW�� https://www.blogger.com/profile/13212954091289189979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6645169994371315314.post-79950166938370834572010-12-22T23:06:48.061-08:002010-12-22T23:06:48.061-08:00I have steel, aluminum and carbon bikes.

Correctly done carbon is actually very strong, but can explode into nice pieces when crashed - however, an impact like that is more then likely to waste a frame made out of steel or whatever else.<br /><br />Most steel, aluminum, or titanium bikes run a carbon fork anyway - and that's the item I don't want to fail ever.<br /><br />I think the bikes from your earliest era of riding is what looks correct to you. For me, that would steel frames. Still, total retro guy I'm not and dig frames from various material for various reasons. Great and crappy frames can made from all available materials.<br /><br />If I was going for the custom dream (road) bike, I'd probably go with a steel frame and fork. Combined with latest running gear, still crazy overall weight.<br /><br />Mark my words - steels frames will make a comeback to sit alongside the carbon offerings. There's no other material to top carbon fiber, so the move will be full-circle back to steel. I'd bet on it. You'll see high end steel offerings from all the big players once again.Dan Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15609122101907983132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6645169994371315314.post-11285827726032082582010-12-22T18:59:00.921-08:002010-12-22T18:59:00.921-08:00I don't own a carbon frame.
