>>1353117Ive felt alloy to transmit more vibration than carbon fiber
Kevlar is what I would go for failing that chrome molybdenum is quite good
>>1353135fatigue limit is briddy good
modulus of elasticity is on point
most grades can be cold worked
rust is mostly non critical - not much opportunity of galvanic issues
high resistance to grinding and chipping
only issue is weight as steel frames bikes tend to hover around 13 to 15 kg unless you have a very thin one to get weight to 11 kg
an old 53 cm frame with carbon tubes and alloy lugs that weighs 1.68 kg
along with a .55 kg alloy and carbon fork
and 622x15 alloy wheels that weigh 1.5 kg
with all the other parts in place its around 9 kg
there are steel frames of this weight but they are in some ways weaker
