Re: Steel Frame

8020 can be a great frame material also.
The key is to make sure connections are tight and stay tight.
Some nylon insert screws, or the removeable locktite is a good solution.

Every material choice has pros and cons - the key is to determine your specific needs and capabilities, and make the best of your choice - whichever material that is.
