Frame material hierarchy

[Tad]

This is what Al says and as Al is my hero, even though he stayed at home polishing his cars rather than come to Mayhem according to the Velocake riders I chatted to, this is the heirachy I strictly adhere to when considering bike frames. Enjoy!

This is my simple to understand list of frame materials.....


Steel = good

Alluminuminium = bad

ti = only if all the steel in the world has ran out.

Carbon = more bad than Alluminumnium.

Wood = bad, but not as bad as Alluminuminium.

Bamboo = bad, but only 6.37% as bad as Alluminuminium.

I hope this helps.

Have to say, I think he's called it about on the money, really.

Good old - well perhaps not so much old, as middle aged - Al!
