I encourage you to go test ride a steel vs an aluminum frame on a bad street and see if you still believe this. I guaruntee you will be surprised at the difference. My aluminum road bike with a carbon fork is an entirely different experience than my 35 year old steel frame Trek. Steel is an entirely different ride and quantifiably and qualifiably more enjoyable (though heavier).
