Titanium Road
What materials are the best for building off road bicycle frames with?
I know the main materials are steel, aluminum, and titanium. Each has their own good points, but what material would you use if you were to make your own frame?
Steel was the norm many many years ago. It is heavier and cannot take a few hits like aluminum. Aluminum can take a few dents and keep on being ridden without cracking (moderate sized dents).
In some cases Aluminum is even better because yokes can be made of cnc aluminum which is not just aesthetically pleasing but it can provide you with more clearance and strength.
But 7005 Aluminum is very popular, 6061 T-6 aluminum is good, cheap and easier to work with but I heard it can be hard to reweld if you should ever crack your frame.
Titanium is strong, a flexy feel (in a good way) to it but it is too expensive for a lot of people.
I’d like to see more Scandium frames, they are lighter than 7005 Aluminum and strong as well. I’ve used Easton Scandium bars before.
