>>1471554>Aluminium has a higher specific strengthWhat the fuck are you talking about, steel has 3x more stiffness and 2x more strength per weight.
https://www.sheldonbrown.com/frame-materials.html>ALumnum is a as mature as steel, its used in airliners because its superiorAirliners and bikes are way two different things, steel is a better material for bicycles because it is more supple, which is more important for a bike than an airliner. Steel is far more mature as its been used in bicycles way longer, until 20iq retards like you bought into the "muh aircraft grade aluminum" marketing schtick, which is meaningless for bikes.
>The recycling process yields a higher % of usuable alu then steel recycling, it's also more abundant.Steel is arguably more recyclable because the frame will still be usable in 50 years unlike the aluminum frame which will eventually crack and dent and have to be melted down, and most likely have the parts be thrown out causing more waste.
>Passivation lends alu to be corrosopn resistantAluminum still corrodes, just like steel, but its not a big issue on crmo frames since the alloy only allows surface rust to form.
>Tube manipulation is easier to axchieve with aluThat may be true but why does it matter.
>>alu bikes use cracbon forks>Nice strawmanIf it's such a good material for a frame, why does almost everyone recommend against aluminum forks for bikes?
You're just coping that you are too poor to buy a new steel bike, but scared to buy a nice used steel bike, so instead you try and defend your shit aluminum Walmart BSO by arguing that just because it's new and everywhere it's better, when in reality its only so prevalent because its cheaper and can be marketed better to retard normalfags such as yourself. Why don't you become a tranny and cut your dick off, by your logic it should be better because its a new trend everywhere, you fucking mentally degenerate faggot.
