Four popular bicycle frame materials are steel, aluminum, titanium and carbon fiber. Beryllium, Metal Matrix Composites and other materials have so far demonstrated limited practicality in bicycle frames. Mysterious and seemingly miraculous beryllium is one-third the weight of aluminum and six times as stiff as steel.his is another reason to look for metal frame parts (such as dropouts) that are made of titanium rather than aluminum if you are shopping for a carbon fiber bike. Discontinuity of materials can create stress-risers where the carbon fiber meets the other material. The stress-risers can lead to failure.
In the last fifteen years, there has been a revolution of sorts in the development and use of new materials for building frames. It wasn't that long ago that frames were made out of cast iron or even wood.Today bicycles are made out of exotic materials such as titanium, aluminum, and carbon fiber.Bicycle frames in the 1990s are lighter and stronger than ever before.
