I've looked for the FAQs etc on this group but can't find any. Sorry if this question irritates
anyone but I would welcome advice on whether I should buy an aluminium frame or steel frame. I'm
interested in a road bike to use in triathlon so I'm willing to part with a reasonable sum. I've
noticed that cheaper bikes tend to be aluminium and the better ones steel. I've heard that
durability can be an issue with aluminium. Is this still a major drawback? And is the ride quality
on a steel frame really that much better?
Thanks,
