The Lightweight Frame

The average cyclo race would have its participants manually carry their bikes at least thirty times in an hour race, which means that it would greatly benefit the contestant to have the lightest bicycle as possible. Hence, the best way to decrease the weight of the bicycle would obviously come from choosing a lightweight material as the frame. Aluminium frames used to be light enough for cyclo races, but modern technology has now spawned a new breed of cyclo-cross bicycle frames that integrate aluminium with carbon fibre to ensure that the bicycle frame is lightweight yet robust enough for rough usage. Passionate racers with healthy pocket change can now also consider frames made up of steel as well as titanium which further promote the lifespan of the bicycle frame.
