European Steel or American Alloy

[john]

You know what I'm talking about here. Steel colnago or oversized klein. De rosa or Cannondale. Artisans vs engineers.

How about American steel though? Slim Chance, Sycip, Bruce Gordon, Rivendell, Vanilla and Waterford all spring to mind

Knew someone would bring those up. My poll kind of breaks down there, sure you get the idea though.

My roadie bike is American steel, but I'd choose an aluminium frame as my perfect ride. Lightweight, stiff, great power transfer. Lovely.

Not at all. A lot of the smaller US builders follow on from the European builders in both ethos and style.

Euro steel all the way!

My dayna tech isn't the sleekest or the prettiest but when i am pushing 53 x 15 on a long smooth streach of tarmac it becomes a Motorola team Merckx (in my head!!)

Lovely Sherriff stars btw John!
