mountain bike: which frame is better; alloy or aluminum?thanks?
I have a whole lot from my granfatherI was told i t is only worth the amount to the user
look on OKorder Is their a name ,date, any markings.? If not maybe 20.00.
Go and ask your independent local tackle shop.
put it on OKorder; the guys who tell you what its worth are called biddersand remember to list it worldwideyou may be surprised at what its worthbut its only worth what folks will pay for it, but hey, christmas is only 3 months 3 weeks away.
An alloy only refers to a mix of compoundsMost alloy frames are currently an aluminum alloy or Steel alloyPure aluminum is not used, with out mixing it with other compounds aluminum has very poor strength characteristicsWhen you go up to an aluminum frame bike take a finger and ping the top tube, It will ring, this is an aluminum alloyWhen a sales person says this bike has an aluminum frame it is really an aluminum alloy frame.
