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.
A physical change is one where no new substance is made, but the substances we already had get reorganised. For example. when water boils, the steam is still the same molecule, water, just reorganised. The steel of your bike contains iron, which becomes iron oxide [which is rust]. It has reacted with oxygen in the air. Water in the air makes this happen more easily which is why you should keep your bike dry, or at least keep your bike painted well so that the iron/steel doesn't come in contact with air. The iron and oxygen were separate at the beginning, and are bonded together into a new substance at the end, so that tells us that this is a chemical change.
