Most people think steel is best suited for hardtail mountain bike frames–and if it’s a singlespeed, then even better! Generally speaking, steel is much heavier than any other bike frame materials–aluminum, carbon, titanium, you name it–and again, generally, the vibration damping qualities are considered unnecessary in a full suspension bike when considering the total weight.
