>>1488110>alloy forks>slightly flexiblethat's just what cannondale claims for a series of alloy forks that were known to crack and fail
same goes for early Vitus 979 forks except that they fail at the crown instead
because of this all the modern alloy forks are much thicker to avoid failing so will not have much flex
>Also, any steel bike that's not a heavy gaspipe clunker is made of "rare cromo metals"yea priddy much any steel bike can safely be assumed to be gas pipe unless otherwise stated
