What do you guys think???
Anyone?? Bump…
Hmmmm…I’m going to say, yes, definitely carbon.
Made from the lugs and carbon tubes available to any other framebuilder. Not sure why one would buy a Steelman carbon over any other carbon or vice versa other than fit and price and these bikes from the carbon kits are going to be all the same, right?
That is what I was thinking… It seems a “kit” bike. I really like his steel bikes though.

that’s a good point, but the thing is, Steelman builds steel bikes from tubesets available to every builder. and no two steel bikes are really the same…
comfortable and looks pretty good, but I think it will flex like over cooked spagetti… Maybe not initially but it will not take too many miles…
With a name like STEELman…he’s going to build CARBON bikes now?
I’m sure they are super nice, like his steel frames…but I find the juxtaposition of name and material funny…
One can change angles and therefore lengths with steel without lugs ala Steelman’s steel frames. How does that happen with carbon lugs?
What in the world are you talking about?

probably the same way it happened with steel lugs.
Carbon is easier to mitre, easier to join, and easier to get a srtaight bike. With Brent’s experience with his steel bikes, I see nothing but a good product.
Contrary to popular belief, you can change an gles with carbon lugs, it’s just a bit harder, that’s all.
