In the US aluminum is more common than steel for new frames now.



Same in Europe. Steel has increasingly been phased out starting sometime around 2010, so almost 15 yrs ago now. Even budget bikes (~200-300€ new) are generally aluminum now.


Not in Holland, everyday bikes are still steel because they're just that much stronger. Especially women's bikes because they support the frame only from the bottom.


Cheap bikes in Canada are still steel-framed.
