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.
Report Abuse. Aluminium is one metal often used in bike frames it is pretty light and strong. An alloy is a mixture of different metals or a metal and non-metal, alloys are either stronger or lighter than their pure metal counterparts. Your the alloy you are talking about could be either steel or aluminium.ll aluminum bikes are made of an aluminum alloy of one sort or another. Steel bikes are also alloys of iron mixed with other materials.
