Until the 1970s practically all bicycle frames were made of steel. In those years, mountain bikes appeared and, with them, the need to look for lighter materials. This is how, little by little, aluminum was introduced in the cycling industry. In the 1990s, with the advent of carbon fiber, steel was relegated to lower-end bicycles or private label manufacturers.

However, there is a type of steel called CroMo that is still used as a frame material for some higher-end bicycles. It is so named because it is made from an alloy of chromium and molybdenum. It is lighter and stronger than conventional steel.

The main quality of steel bicycle frames is that they are cheaper, have greater durability than aluminum and are easier to repair in case of dent or puncture.

It is also a material with great resistance. If you are going to carry a lot of weight, for example on a long adventure trip with tens of kilos in your backpack and saddlebags, a steel bicycle may be a good choice.
