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.

How so? Forces would always be more concentrated on the CroMo.

More specifically, my knees and the inside of my knees.
