what's the issue anyways, got memed into one of the new oversized bikes? Steel rigid mtb >> everything else you can literally ride it off a cliff and be biking again in half an hour after smashing your rims back into shape between a tree and your foot. You can box the thing put it on a bus or plane and not have to worry about re indexing your 7 speed rear derailleur after it gets kicked around for hours on end. Literally indestructible and as long as you get one that has double butted skinny tubes they are not significantly heavier than the new larger framed aluminum bikes but they will ride much smoother as the bending of the frame takes up the impacts.
