In fact, steel today is lighter, stronger and more versatile than ever. Its reliability has been tested and proven and it offers a superior and smooth ride because of its natural flex and vibration-dampening properties. If taken care of properly, your Shinola bike will be as rideable in 40 years as the day you buy it.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shinola.com\/mens\/bicycles.html\">See our selection of bicycles here<\/a><span class=\"s1\">.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We believe there\u2019s no material more suitable than steel when it comes to producing a bicycle frame that is durable, highly responsive, and delivers an unsurpassed and pleasant riding experience.&nbsp;
