Steel bikes are famous for their bombproof durability, classic looks, and buttery smooth and lively ride qualities. Steel is thousands of years old, is the first material that bikes were built out of, and it continues to improve with new innovations. In this video, I explain what exactly gives steel tubings these qualities and how frame designers and builders work with steel to create bikes that we love to ride. We talk about 1) steel's composition, 2) how steel is treated for lighter weight and increased durability, 3) how the profile and butting of steel changes a frameset's ride quality, and 4) a steel tubing tier list to identify different qualities of steel.
