Steel vs Aluminum, the Ragley Big Al vs the Ragley Bigwig. Which is better? In this video I discuss the pros and cons of each, along with which one I'd rather have. Have you ever ridden the same bike in different frame materiials? I want to give a HUGE thanks to Ragley for sending these frames in for this test.
