The real question for this is what’s wrong with aluminum piping, light, cheap, strong, has no problem with rain or really any weather.

Since you brought it up, there is a long used axiom in the bicycle industry. There is strong, light, and cheap. You can pick any two you want.

There are stronger lighter option than aluminum that are really expensive. But for your non-racing, actually going to use this as transportation crowd aluminum scores very well on all three. It’s a good solid middle of the triangle metal.
