Haha, so much for "steel is real".
I must say, the more I research this, the more I admire aluminium. Other than street cred and the alleged road vibrations, it's incredible how strong, light and cheap it is.

- potato3732842 2y agoCarbon is basically "fancy fibrous plastic" though. It still degrades. Just in different ways than aluminum or steel.
