what type of bike are you talking about?
You posted a picture of a road bike, but are you talking about road bikes?
For road bikes, steel is actually a budget choice and most people riding and hyping steel road bikes are on 80s/90s ones.
>Only reason to buy a [expensive new steel road bike frame] is because its cool. Sure but that's a strawman. The number of people buying those is exceptionally small. Maybe even the main reason then would be to get custom geometry.
