I do get what they are saying ito carbon; but lets be honest, none is ideal. Aluminium mining aside, the processing is horendously energy hungry.

 

Good point and the processing therafter is hardly what u would call environmentaly friendly.

Ban carbon and alu bikes and only allow steel frames for now. The time has come, in fact we are at the tipping point, for mankind to take drastic action on sustainability. Nature has had enough of mankind`s bs and punishment is due.

In other words Steel is Really good

 

I think the concerns are more about the recycling, or lack thereof

 

 

I have recycled a number of steel frames.

 

First they went to my girlfriend, then to my gardener and then when I needed a LeJeune for the Tour of Ara, I got it back.....
