Frames (was: Re: cleaning the commute bike)

MTB frame’s are quite a bit more designed this century some of which coming
from the rise of full suspension, but also designing the bike for its
intended use.

I don't really care, because we didn't take part in the flight from the
roads to “infrastructure” or forest and gravel paths, which was
propagated from all sides of the spectrum, over the past decades. 

In this respect, we have also stuck with the classic frame shapes,
diamond frames, Mixte or Anglais, without suspension.  I don't need the
slightly lowered top tube at the back, but sometimes I find it quite
practical.

Carbon frames are a different story.  I have more experience with metal,
so I stuck with aluminum and then titanium for the frames.
