For riding on
pavement
• TRADE OFF: Material use is optimized to deliver
only
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. These frames are
likely to be damaged or broken in a crash. They are not
designed to take abuse or be a rugged workhorse. See
also Appendix B.
