generally steel and carbon perform similarly in comparison to alu. Steel is so much cheaper and yes i guess it is style to.The flex that carbon and steel offer also irons out the stiffness of the wheels (big flanges) Probably just down to the way these types of bikes are used (ie in the city all the time) Its more down to why aluminium isnt used very much.
