You only need to have been watching the American Handmade Bicycle Show blog to know that frame makers, and their customers love steel. Salsa, Surly and Swobo (the esses) all are producing popular steel framed products and selling them.
“Steel is almost the perfect material for bikes. Workability, longevity, ride quality: Steel is it.”said Swobo’s Sky Yeager.
Now to get the aluminimum seat post that is stuck in my steel Ricardo out so I can get riding it again.. now I can show my face in the cycling public again.
