TRADE OFF
Material use is optimized to deliver both light weight and specific
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.
