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.
You can request a bright and shiny finish like chrome plated wheels or chrome plated Harley Davidson parts, to highly corrosion resistance electroless nickel, and inexpensive corrosion resistant zinc plating processes.t is slightly harder than the red-brass.
