I'm pretty pleased with my fixed gear steel bike. It's cheap and easy to maintain, and it's held up well over the years.

I just don't talk to bicycle enthusiasts (except the worker at the shop I frequent) because they'll compare it to bicycles that are way beyond my means or needs. Most people don't need carbon or even aluminum, if you're just looking for reliable transportation.

What side of comparisons are being made? I own two enthusiast level carbon fiber bikes but also have a steel framed urban bike and love them all.

Lovely. Which bikes do you have?

You can never have too many
