> I can assure you that steel frames are not your friend

Speaking as one who spent $3500 on a steel-framed commuting/winter training bike, I obviously disagree. Aluminum rides rough and carbon is just silly on a commuter.

Though to give you the benefit of the doubt, you did mention "<$200". I think that's more the issue than what the frame is made of.
