Hmmm.
Many people are still riding 30+ year old steel frames, often hard, often daily, with no noticeable decay in all that time, as long as the frames have been maintained.
Completed in March 1989 (130 seasons now, and still going strong).
Exposed to wind, rain, snow, smog, elevators, etc, every second since.
Does not "wear out in one season", just as any decent bicycle frame does not.
Does not "age like fine wine", just as any bicycle frame does not.
