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.
It was probably once bright and shiny. However, one of the chemical properties of iron is that it forms rust when exposed to oxygen. This causes the shiny bicycle to turn into a rust-bucket and is an example of a chemical change due to chemical properties. The inability of a substance to undergo chemical change is also an example of a chemical property.
