Why Chromoly Steel makes better fames
The material of your bike can make or break the quality of your ride. Our commitment to chromoly steel allows you to have the best possible ride every time.
- Strength & Weight: Chromoly steel is known for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. It provides the strength needed for a durable bicycle frame while still being relatively lightweight compared to other materials like aluminum or carbon fiber. This translates to sleeker frames, faster speeds, and comfortable maneuverability.
- Durability: Chromoly steel frames are highly durable and resistant to fatigue. They can withstand the rigors of everyday use, including rough terrain, potholes, and bumps in the road, without compromising their structural integrity. Chromoly steel uses a special welding technique for its frames and joints that increases the strength of the welded edges compared to steel or aluminum. Chromoly steel is also treated before and after manufacturing to increase the natural resistance to corrosion.
- Comfort: Chromoly steel has natural damping properties, meaning it can absorb vibrations and road shocks more effectively than stiffer materials like aluminum and without the bulk and maintenance issues of shocks. This can result in a smoother and more comfortable ride, especially on long-distance rides or rough terrain.
- Customization: Chromoly steel allows for flexibility in design and customization. Our Chromoly steel frames have a timeless and classic aesthetic appeal that resonates with many cyclists. The sleek lines and smooth welds of a well-crafted steel frame evoke a sense of craftsmanship and tradition that can be cherished for years to come.

Testimonial
My name is Tim Mathewson and I have been in the bicycle industry for 49 years. During this time, I have ridden almost every type of bike made. I have watched as the industry adopted new materials for lighter and lighter bikes. I have also watched bicycle design move away from proper ergonomics for the masses in pursuit of speed. While the racer may have benefited from such designs, the common rider has not.
If a bicycle is built with compliant geometry and is ergonomically correct, it will bring joy every time it is ridden and it will be ridden much more often than if is uncomfortable. I own over 50 bikes and ride 10 or so on a regular basis with the ones made of steel being my preference. The bicycle offered is for the common rider and made to be maintenance free, allowing the rider more time to ride. My wife and son as well as myself, all ride on with the same frame. Of all the materials used to build a bike, I would choose steel every time. With the use of steel, good geometry, and top level components, it is hard to beat the overall experience.
No one I know ever regrets quality after they buy it. Today’s readily available technology often build dreams without foundations. There is no reason to reinvent the bicycle. Just make nice ones and people will thank you for it. Thank you for the time for me to weigh in some thoughts. Feel free to email me with any questions.
