Hi Liner,

Steel is back! Steel is real. Steel never left. Steel bikes have unbelievable ride quality.

"But steel's so heavy", you say. Not in the hands of a great designer. My partners Mondonico Futura Legero is
lighter than her Cannondale, lighter than most bikes on the market, plenty of zip speed and pep and steels
true all day ride comfort.

"But it's so old fashioned. I want something high-tech" check out the steel frame/carbon stays
composite bikes. Way cool! See website above. 8-)

If I was buying another bike today (and I'm not so please don't tell my bike I even discussed this, she'll get
jealous) steel is what I would look for. But then I'm old and stoved up so I like the comfortable ride. 8-)

Happy shopping and test riding, I'm envious (don't tell my bikes that).
