Fork material

The fork on this bike is made out of steel, which tends to be more flexible than carbon forks in general. However, a carbon fork is considerably lighter.

Wheels

The wheels on Classic Steel 3-Speed Women’s are the 26″ aluminum type. These wheels give you great handling over your bike. However, they are less forgiving when riding over obstacles such as bumps and roots.

Brakes

Stopping the bike when needed, it’s essential for your safety. This bike has Coaster brakes. These brakes are pretty efficient, and they’re not so pricey. However, they have flaws, especially if the chain falls off.
