I have both on different bicycles. The weight or material is all the same
to me, but the steel one is wider and feels better that way.

The stock
I have 3 bikes with a-bars and I'm pretty sure one of them is cro-mo. Are they
obviously marked somewhere? Near stem insert point? I need to look. Anyway, I
don't think it makes much difference to me. How about cro-mo for heavy
rider/rough-tough offroading and AL for a everything else?

They'll both last as you will :)
Seriously . need not concern yourself over such intangibles . Either
one is wonderful .

The stock builds come with steel. I am sure they are fantastic.
I have read a complaint
Thanks for all the input everyone!
I got aluminum. Apparently there are no safety or flex, feel differences
between steel and alu.
Just 10 oz. and 24 bucks or so.
I felt was worth it in the long haul to save a little over half a pound. It
adds up.
Not that it would make a dif to a

Steel for me :) Given a choice of Al or steel bars, I'll take the steel
most every time. I ride out of the saddle alot, up and down ye hills of
yore. I pull and push on them hard I suppose they flex if measured in
a lab but I don't notice it at all. 3 cheers 4 steel :)

I was using steel but am switching over to Aluminum. Mostly looking to
lighten' up my every day all day bike and this is one of the few ways I can
do it! I think the difference is mainly weight and price unless you ride
hard on trails and what not. That sort of riding is reserved for my
Steel Albas here. I ride a lot of single track and a few times have
absorbed enough front impact to drop the tilt of my bars (after which I
read just them and keep moving, mindful to see the unseen a bit better next
time. Grin.). No idea how the aluminum would compare, but I suspect I would

I had the albas in aluminum. I am not a small guy and hammered on them
sometimes, never felt any discernible flex. Mind you this wasn't down hill
or single track but they were nice and light and finish was amazing.
