CroMo died out because *you* wanted aluminum. It's part hype, part
what the customers want. CroMo has skinny tubing,

Cromo frames hurt when parts of your body impact them. Aluminum imparts a
lower stress to the body since the area is larger.

I never thought of it that way Makes sense. Not a really big issue
since a crash bad enough to bruise with skinner tubes may hurt you in other
ways on the AL.
