Christie Posted February 27, 2011 Share Hmmm, I don't know. What's the point of a steel MTB, & how is it better than an aluminium one? It will rust... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazyTrailRider Posted February 27, 2011 Share Auctionlamb and Christie: *Sigh* This is something you either appreciate, or you don't Have you ever ridden a high-end steel framed MTB? The trail feel and liveliness is unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted February 27, 2011 Share Hmmm, I don't know. What's the point of a steel MTB, & how is it better than an aluminium one? It will rust... And aluminium will corrode... More forgiving than alu in terms of bump absorption, and can use less of it in order to get the same strength characteristics. Plus, it just looks damn sexy.

Epic battles were had between Frischy and Johnny T! Juli Furtado also made the Judy SL famous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
