The only thing the sales slip says is Frame type M which I think stands for male. I didn't even think about the metal. I'm sorry. I really just told the bike guy what I needed, what I wanted to use it for and what I could pay. He knows what the terrain around here is. I totally put myself in his hands after that. I will be getting a manual with the bike, but I don't have it now.
