[quote=x]all steel alloys have virtually the same modulus of elasticity  
(or flexiness, or the amount of elastic deformation for a given force)  
same density too  
but fancy alloys are stronger[/quote]  
does this mean they can be built with thinner walls, and are thus lighter?

If you’re willing to spend $750 on a bike and already have a fixed gear bike, get something with some gears. Seriously.
