TRADE OFF
Material use is optimized to deliver both light weight and specic
performance. You must understand that (1) these types of bikes
are intended to give an aggressive racer or competitive cyclist a
performance advantage over a relatively short product life, (2) a less
aggressive rider will enjoy longer frame life, (3) you are choosing
light weight (shorter frame life) over more frame weight and a longer
frame life, (4) you are choosing light weight over more dent resistant
or rugged frames that weigh more. All frames that are very light
need frequent inspection for cracks that would indicate that the frame
is worn out from fatigue. These frames are likely to be damaged
or broken in a crash. They are not designed to take abuse or be a
rugged workhorse.
