What make steel a better ride than alloy or aluminium?

Never owned a steel bike before, but had alloy and alu frames in the past. Currently have 5 carbon bikes.

I have never understood the excitement everyone has for steel bikes.

I have ridden a few, owned two and dont think I will be interested in getting another one.

 

And no I dont think they look good, but then again my taste seems to vary from what others think. I like the look of bikes likes the Cervelo P5X which many dont.

 

Oh and I dont like classic cars either.

Classic cars is very subjective

 

 

Say classic cars and most think of a 69 mustang or camaro ( which are both FUGLY)

 

 

Chevelle, Cutlas , Riviera ,Transam , Firebird ,Falcon those are classic cars !

A number of steel frames are hand made, so you're buying a work of art. As opposed to a mass produced (on a machine and lots of cheap labour) plastic frame.
