Lightbulb Steel or Alloy? Well...

I know this is a very late response...but hopefully you will get it.



For a TRAINING FRAME, I would recommend steel simply b/c for training rides you will most likely ride long and/or bumpy roads so the steel will make it feel smoother. PLUS it's heavier than alloy so when you get on your super light alloy, carbon etc frame - you will notice it is easier to move the bike.....

Just food for thought!
