Just because it is CroMo , does not mean it will rust anymore than just because it's Al it will break !
Either or is fine and will last a long time. If one lives and/or stores a bike in a wet environment,or just worried about it, get a Al version. Or apply Boeshield or FrameSaver in the steel bars. The steel ones are not raw CroMo like frame steel anyways, there is a surface coating on them. The ends are always filled with shifters, plugs or brake levers anyways, so where is the moisture going to come from ? Nowhere ! Other reasons ? Steel vs. Al ride and feel characteristics , which are subjective to the the rider and need no justification. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
