How To Know What Factors To Consider When Choosing The Right Metal For Your Bike Frame

What factors should I consider when choosing the right metal for my bike frame?

You have aluminum, which is really simple to fabricate and easy to weld. It's a good buy - light-weight and a good all-rounder. Then you have carbon fiber frames. Carbon fiber is very light-weight, it's expensive. It's great for road bikes. And you have titanium, which is really expensive, and it's light-weight, and it's great for road bikes, but also great for mountain bikes. It flexes, and it forgives, and it doesn't break, because it's titanium. Of course, it varies by who makes it. That's hot right now. We have steel, which is really affordable. The materials are light-weight. There's so many different types of steel. Steel is easy to fabricate and weld. If you crack it, you can weld it. I love steel: steel is simple, effective, and in the world of cycling, steel is real.
