    Thanks. That is what I was thinking. The basic Boulder I got a month ago is a Steel frame. It is my first bike since the basic BMX I had as a kid about 25 years ago. I have really enjoyed it so far and am riding it more than my wife and daughter expected me too.

    Don't forget, steel is real!

    I actually bought it over the SE because I wanted Steel.
